The ratio method to calculate wieght changes mentioned above is a simplistic method to estimate the wieght changes. However, with multiaxle self equalizing axles the calculation is not that simple as the center of rotation moves with load characteristics. Certainly use the method for estimates but your actual wieght loss on the tongue/pin will be significantly lower
The only real way to know is as was posted by the moderator. Go get it wieghed.
If your doing wieght calculations to determine tow vehicle requirements do yourself a favor and calculate figuring the maximum wieght on the tongue/hitch as there is no guartentee you will always be hauling the heavy toys and need to move it empty sometime.
