Practical way to weigh a trailer

At times I can be quite funny, thank you.

And you may keep your's where it has been for some time. Totally stuck in your ass.

Yours has been stuck there so long it is doubtful you know how to remove it.

The truck scales around here can weigh the difference between a full tank and half-full when I roll across on my bike. If you don't have any locally try an aggregate yard; their scales are precise to the pound or better.

I also wondered about it, but,. life is what it is and truck scales are not what will give me an accurate answer.

I have a big page with a lot of pictures about how I built this trailer:

I want to know its weight due to loading considerations.

Good idea. Thanks.

I doubt if I could get an accurate answer this way.

We laugh "with" Roy but we laugh "at" you Snoball. The sooner this sinks into that thick head of yours the better.

Man I seriously do not know why this guy keeps posting... To say he was dense would be an understatement. I think along with posting corrections to his dribble we should include links to his other "masterpieces". This may keep him from anymore vain attempts at distorting the facts as I think he forgets everything he says gets archived.

Sno on brakes:

One of the best examples of when someone is stupid to the sub-atomic level and as such, doesn't and never will understand how stupid they are.

Scrap yard, or recycling center. The one near me has a scale which reads in 20 pound increments. Drive on. Detach trailer. Drive on again. Subtract.

You went to a truck stop and couldn't get weighed? That's pathetic, man!

(Anyone remember the "want to get weighed" joke? I'll tell it, if you ask.)

I've had people suggest I buy one for myself.

Do you mean that I am pathetic, or the truck scale?

Or any concrete batching plant.

That sounds like a real good idea. At least it would point out what we have been talking about.

Any man who goes to a truck stop and can't get weighed is doing something wrong. You're pathetic.

If you know the joke, the above statement is funny. Happy to tell the joke, if someone asks.

Speech impediment?

A wittle more information, and they'll have the whole joke.

This thread is unbelievable as to how much conversation it has generated. To weigh a trailer you do what has been done for the last 50 years - you go to a truck stop, weigh the truck and trailer together, unhook the trailer and then weigh just the truck. With just the trailer on the scale and the truck off the scale gives you trailer axle weight.

"This thread is unbelievable as to how much conversation it has generated."

And yet..." To weigh a trailer..."

LOL!

I think that was my suggestion early on. Sometimes in this group we generate more heat than light.

Stick around if you can handle it. Not only will it get better but it will get worse.
