You have to figure it out. Get the actual hard weights of everything and add them up. Then arrange everything on dry ground as it would be inside the trailer, with heaviest stuff near the axle and everything properly balanced. Measure it. Keep some distance so things aren't scraping and banging together going down logging roads.
Having relatively heavy point weights such as quads or other machinery requires a solid frame and deck, and pulling that stuff out to the boonies requires a high-boy. You're dealing with a much different scenario than hauling a bunch of furniture down the highway to a new city for work. It would be a good argument for a gooseneck hitch too, but then you might have to make your own enclosure or convert a used horse trailer.
