If memory serves, the tongue weight on my old 25' Parker was about 600+
pounds. I haven't checked the tongue weight on the new Parker yet, but I
can't lift the tongue by hand.

You're Parker, on a dual axle trailer, should have a tongue weight closer to
200lbs. You probably couldnt move that though either.


That Parker should probably have a tongue weight in the 500lb range. My
Proline, 21'er, with a tandem axle trailer had about 420lbs, which was
about 8% of the total load. The trailer manual will specify what percent of
the total load should be used for tongue weight.
