There is also the matter of connecting them if I weld them in place.
I'd probably have to make a 3 piece connecting tube/rod or put it on
before I weld them in place.  I'm thinking 3 pc connecting rod so I can
add a sprocket later.

Two separate unsprung wheeled jacks will only rarely share the tongue weight.
I increased the ground footprint of the retractable mast end wheeled jack on my shop crane by adding an outer pair of wheels on a longer axle. They no longer caster well so I made a steering handle that attaches to the axle and forces the wheels into line with my pull.
The first version had a hitch coupler on the end of the handle as a tow bar. That worked well going forward unloaded but transferred all the pull to the jack and its mount, and I couldn't back up, so the second version has a separate rigidly attached coupler and a tee handle to pull on the caster axle by hand but not with the tractor.
