I agree.
Your present 850lb loaded tongue weight is 10.4% of your TH gross loaded weight. Towing a heavy TH near 10% can make TV handling a bit challenging at times, especially in less than ideal towing conditions (sudden maneuvers, wind, etc.).
Based on your information provided...., it appears your TH gross loaded weight is 8,200lbs. The recommended loaded tongue weight range @ 8,200lbs = 1,066lb to 1,230lb range (13% to 15%)...., IMO with 15% being the target.
