Add to that the potential to bend your trailer frame and to reduce tongue weight too low (the trailer is a teeter totter) and get sway. The far rear of the trailer is the last place you should add any additional weight.  The best place is in the tow vehicle, ahead of the TV rear axle.

Don't do it!

The hitch is rated for 150 lbs carried close to the trailer. Not only would you have the 125 lbs of the generator, but the weight of the rack. Add to that that they both would sit at a greater distance from the hitch and you are looking for trouble. A rack and contents weighing no more than 50 lbs might be okay, but any more and you are likely to arrive at a camp site and find that your generator did not make it with you and that you are now liable for having caused an accident, possibly with one or more fatalities when the welds of the bar holding the hitch broke and dropped the carrier and generator on the highway.

Carry the generator in the back of your pickup truck, your SUV, or in a separate vehicle, but don't put it on the back hitch.
