- I must have the right amount of tongue weight. I used my TT a week ago and towed if for 30 miles without remembering to lock the hitch to the ball. Got where I was going no problem. Wouldn't want to do it again.
- Make it and someone will buy it. Wasn't that basically Barnums theory? i could tear that thing up in 3 trips.
- I would love to have the Sherline. Just too cheap to buy one, so I took a piece of 4x4, added 2 dowels exactly 4' apart, an extra ball 1' from one end, and a handle for toting. Takes about 10 minutes total.
I check tongue weight 3 or 4 times a year.
Also go to the CAT scale at least twice a year. - I use my tongue weight scale every time I'm on a level hard surface pad. Just to make sure things haven't changed. $100 well spent to me. Less than a good dinner out and takes about 2 minutes. :)

My bathroom scale only goes to 250! LOL :B

Put pivot at one end of 4' board. Place trailer tongue at 1' from pivot. Place scale at 4' from pivot. Multiply scale reading by 4. 250 lb scale can now weigh 1000 bJebby14 wrote:

hence the lumber and the physics. make a measured lever and away you go.Jebby14 wrote:

Easy to do with a tongue weight beam ... but a Sherline is far easier. :BJebby14 wrote:
