Welcome to Jack-Knife HELL !!!

There is no way that this would work, not enough weight to hold back the trailer and am not convinced there could be enough power to pull it along anything other than straight and level !

Well, ya just never know what somebody is going to put together. Looks like a lotta work went into this one. I dunno how the damn thing would steer, ya know? Those two tires up front, no real distance between 'em, no caster/camber... Would definitely make corners interesting...

Thanx for the pic Sniper...

Actually, most (not all) jack-knife situations happen when backing up.  Don't think that's a real problem here, but hey it could be.  As for holding trailer back, consider a 'real' big rig, the trailer outweighs the tractor but quite a bit and has a huge amount of momentum when loaded so you put something on the trailer called brakes that help with that issue.  Pulling a hill, well that is usually overcome with something called gears, which when configured in the proper ratio can really help with that issue. 

Just thinking and throwing food for thought out...

Looks like a cool rig anyway, if nothing else.
