CAT Scale numbers (still a newbie to towing)

Okay, and just to be clear. When you say 9 links, are you counting from the end? I was confused by your reference of 7 or 8 links being better.

With the Blue OX, you should be counting from the bitter end up 9 as a starting point (counting toward the bar).

At 9 links, there should be about 3 links visible from the shackle to the bar. Adding links to tighten the bars is perfectly fine as needed to level the trailer.

The dealer told us nine with the bar as the starting point so when I say 7 and 8 lengths of chain it is from the bar, not the end of the chain. When I go 7 from the bar is when I can see 3 chain links.

We have 750# bars. From the manufacturer the tongue weight with the camper dry is 584lbs.
