Your right. Looking at that scale would leave you to believe its not much. However, A 50 foot driveway that is 2 feet higher on one end than the other is a 4% grade. Enough to have something heavy help you propel down I think.

I would still like to see a DBP figure in print for our beloved cubs since this come up pretty often.

Another thought.. What is the tongue weight on that trailer. I bet its 300 plus pounds. Enough to help the steering start to get lite.
