Four wheels good, five wheels better:
~50kg load.
Observations:
When it's empty, you don't feel the trailer is there. Trikes are rattlier than bikes, so it's lost in the (literal) noise.
The trailer's track width is a good match for the trike's, so pothole-dodging is easier than with a bike.
The trailer box occludes the view of directly behind in the mirrors. You have to wiggle about or sit forward to look over your shoulder in order to see distant cars or cyclists in the blind spot. I expect this would be more severe with handlebar-mounted mirrors.
With a 12.5" gear to play with, 100kg or more would be no problem on real hills, assuming that you don't get run over out of sheer boredom by the following traffic. At no point did I actually *need* the granny ring.
I've ridden various silly bikes, but this configuration gets truly awesome amounts of room / patience on the road.
Braking is much better and more predictable than when using a bike, but tyres become the limiting factor. Even with three disc brakes you have to allow for the greatly increased stopping distance, especially if you're used to an unloaded tadpole trike.
The low-speed oscillation you get with a bike while starting off is barely detectable. This may be a function of it being a recumbent (and associated lower gears and pedalling style) rather than a trike, though.
I maintained an impeccable 30.0mph past the temporary speed camera
