Balance your trailer tires?
Took my 20' utility trailer on a 840 mile round trip over the holidays. First 420 it had a small load (queen size mattress) on it. There was a slight vibration from the trailer that could be felt inside the X. Once there I pulled around a JD1050 for about 60 miles at highway speeds and didn't feel any vibrations. On the returning 420 miles, the trailer was empty, and it shook the crap out of us. My neck hurts and my wife's back hurts from the constant shaking.
So, my question is. Is the vibration from running unbalanced trailer tires? Do you guys balance your trailer tires? Is it possible that it isn't the tires at all but slop in the trailer hitch (bulldog 2 5/16 hitch that is nearly new, less than 3k miles on it and always lubed)? Any other thoughts? Won't ever take the trailer on a long trip again if I don't get this sorted out, it was 6 hours of hell.
