​Which is approximately what an "equalizer hitch" provides. You just need
to incorporate another wheel aft of the added load to act as the new
fulcrum. :-)

Given all this load problem, please tell this non-cyclist why you don't
just use a "cradle" in the receiver for the cycle's front wheel and let the
cycle's rear wheel tag along on the ground bearing most of the weight. I
know such devices exist, I just don't know the pros and cons of them.
