Bought a new trailer and it gets shaky over 60mph
I don't understand, i had an old trailer all rusty that i use to carry my ATV with and never had any problems, nothing shaking in the pedals or the steering...
I just bought this new trailer and when i drive over 60mph it gets shaky...
Could it just be the wheels air pressure? Everything seems fine last time i checked but i'll double check tomorrow...

Tongue weight is the amount of weight pressing down on your trailer hitch. Tongue weight is usually limited to 10-15% of maximum tow weight (w/o weight distribution tow). That is why you would move the atv closer to the front- increase tounge weight. If you move it more to the rear of the trailer you decrease tongue weight. If you do not have enough tongue weight it's like pulling a shopping cart.

Could also be that the trailer wheels are not properly aligned and aren't tracking correctly. *Usually a toe-in/out issue.
If the alignment is correct, tongue weight as an issue is minimized. Meaning: It will track properly no matter what/where the weight is distributed. *Unless of course, you get REALLY extreme.
