I do not know trailer weight. But you are correct that is needed.  I loaded it with grandpa's tractor to go help my cousin move her yard fence.  The tractor with loader and bucket is 3,700 Lbs.

The tongue wt even loaded as shown was huge.

 

That is overloaded by 400 pounds Not counting the trailer weight. That will damage the axle real quick. A single axle can only handle 3,300 pounds max. 

If I had to guess, I would say the trailer weight is around 800 - 1,000 pounds. (frame plus the deck) 

If you want to load a SxS and an ATV on it, you have to make it dual axle.

That is a lot of weight!

yes you guys are right, the trailer is overloaded with the tractor.  The electric breaks worked great but the position of the trailer axle is wrong. And as was pointed out the trailer should be tandem axle for the load.   The trailer works ok with my sand rail and very good with my SxS.  It is really too heavy for the Foreman.

The SXS looks good on it.

Agreed, nice picture. (both look good)  As you can see, all the weight of the machine is forward of the axle which is not good. That will put it very tongue heavy. You can even see how the vehicle is squatting due to the weight.

You are right too much tongue weight probably too much mascara also...
