Suggestions to Use Sherline Scale
How do you get the tongue coupler on the scale? I'm thinking of having the coupler positioned so it easily can lift off the ball. Then lower it, raise the jack, lay a small length of 2x on the scale...

Barney is absolutely correct. the sherline is a nice tool, but to make it affordable, it is basically just a hydraulic pressure gauge and a piston 1 sq in area. So it translates into 1lb force = 1psi on the gauge. and the gauge face is redone for lbs rather than psi.
try to get as vertical a load as possible and average a few. In any case with reasonable attention the results you get will be more than sufficient for determining tongue weight. Also best accuracy is if the weight is near the middle of the scale range.
