(ET) E20 and tongue weight



So...  another request for info here.

My wife and I are considering the purchase of a small camping trailer, dry
weight about 2600 lbs, tongue weight about 340 lbs.

Our intended storage spot is a bit tight to get into and I think we'd do
better with a motorized dolly rather than trying to use the tow vehicle to
position things.  But, these dollies are $800+!

Then I got to thinking - why not use the E20?  Has lots of torque, and the
surface is level to slightly sloping.  Best of all, I've already invested 
in
it!!!

My only question:  Does anyone think that the 340 lb. tongue weight would 
be
too much for the ET's rear tires or axle assembly?  I couldn't find 
anything
in the literature I have here.  The archives only seem to have info on the
weight it can push, not the tongue weight.  If the weight is too much, 
maybe
I could put a rubber wheel on the tongue jack and allow it to roll/pivot
while taking some of the weight off of the tongue.

Any input appreciated.
