I just got this tilt trailer. It's a 2015 and it's 22' long so I'm thinking I could feasibly carry the 500 & 1000-5 at the same time. Question is which would you place in the front? Thanks

Agree with JTW if they are loaded more towards the front. Don’t get the 1000 too far back on that one or it’ll sway.
That’s a nice trailer. And yes that’s definitely feasible lol. We load Wolverine and Pioneer on our 16ft but that’s overly tight. 20’ and above is comfortable.

On that nice heavy trailer it really won’t matter which goes first.

typically in this situation I would put the heavier of the two over the axels.

You probably already have 300 plus tounge weight empty already.

Your biggest issue will be spacing on a tilt trailer. You won’t be able to place both rigs behind the tilt seam because all the weight would be riding on the lock pin upwards. If you have one rig splitting the seam and the other on the tilt bed fully. It will be tough not tilt the bed without both on the tilt at the same time.

it looks like you could have one rig all the way forward (p500) and have enough room to use the tilt bed separately for each rig.

I agree. 500 first the the 1000. I've hauled my 1000-3 and my brothers 1000-5 on my 18 foot car trailer. The weight is much better distributed when the machine on the back of the trailer was facing backwards. With both on facing forward my half ton Silverado swayed a good bit but was still manageable. With the 2500 HD or 3500 trucks it made no difference.
