Measure the distance from the center of the axles to the pin. Measure the distance to the center of your cargo.
The formula is:
Present Pin Weight minus (("Cargo weight" times ("Distance to cargo" divided by "Distance to Pin")) = Final Pin weight
So, putting variables into the equation 1300 pounds minus (600 pound Rhino times 10 feet/13 feet) = 838.46 pounds.
That's the only way you can do it.
Agree, simple physics will get you close but the dual axle hangers put a twist in the equation. I'm sure given some time you could come up with an accurate fomula accounting for this but probably as fast to take it to a scale and have it weighed.
