How to find you tongue weight on a CAT scale 

This is a great video, very simple. And such an important topic!

Loose the background music, can't hear what you're saying....

Thanks mate. Just what I needed.

Nice video - easy to understand.

Thank you! I'm about to go do my first CAT Weigh. I feel a bit more knowledgeable now! Thanks!

That's a super heavy ranger lol. Not that it matters to me at all but 6340 lbs exceeds our 6050 GVWR. Thanks for teaching, I can now do the same with my setup.

Off-brand question.... but how do you like your smart cap? Thinking about getting one for my truck. Also, thanks for the vid! Just installed a WD hitch and want to make sure my tongue weight is in range for the next haul.

Just for simplicity this is how you should calculate. Let's say first reading you get A and B. A from the truck side which is truck axle plus tongue weight. You only get combined figure. B is your trailer axle. Which is less than trailer weight. So you don't know truck weight or trailer weight at this point. But A plus B is total weight of your rig. Say it is A+B. Then second measure is just your truck. Which is your true truck weight. Let's say C. Now to get all weights this what you do. Truck weight is simply C. Trailer weight is A+B -C. Which is total minus truck weight. Let's say that is R. Now tongue weight is A-C or R-B. They will be same. Thats tongue weight. Let's say T. Now ideally your T/R should be 10-15%. Hope that helps.

Agree with you about the app, so easy to scale.

So what is your tongue weight number not your trailer weight but your tongue weigh?

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. My thinking is that is you take your loaded drive axle minus you unloaded drive axle you would have a tongue weight of 540lbs. and according to your calculation it is 360lbs which is a difference of 180lbs. This also happens to be the difference in your steer axle weights. So comparing the drive axle weights my calculation is adding to the drive axles what has been taken off the steer axle. I don't know if this makes sense, I'm just trying to understand it and probably over thinking it. LOL

Is the tongue weight the same as the trailer weight? If not how do you figure out what the trailer weighs?

Almost wrecked my truck when you showed the swift truck. Worst truck company in the USA

How did your CAT Scale tongue weight calculation compare to the reading on your WeighSafe hitch?

No help at all. This would have been simpler and more understandable using a diagram than showing a truck/trailer driving over the scale from a distance and side view. ZERO HELP.
