Henris, ek het altyd gewonder, is dit nie beter om sulke swaar voertuie verkeerd-om op 'n wa te laai nie (met ander woorde dat die neus na agter wys)? Soos wat hy op die foto gelaai is, affekteer dit nie die stabiliteit van die wa nie (met die swaarste gewig voor)?

Die swaarste gewig is voor. Die balans is kritiek. Maar die 3 aste vergewe jou baie sondes.
Daardie kar is nie so swaar agter nie. Daardie engine alleen is seker 300kg.

Like a caravan, it is critical that the nose of the trailer remains heavier than the rear.

And that has a lot to do with the placement of the axle.

Loading a vehicle back to front creates a large flat surface ( the rear) that is not very aerodynamic. Can be a huge pain if you're driving into strong headwinds!

In my case, not such a big problem. The Troopie is high. The load distribution is more important.
