FrankandBeans,
I haven't weighed it since we last took it out in the fall, and I can't remember what it was then. I'll have to look at post it here when we get out again.
I will say that it was heavier than I expected. I'm concerned about it since I'm pulling with a 3/4 ton. The truck has handled it like it was pulling much smaller load. Very stable and power for days. The integrated exhaust brake on the truck and the mechanical brakes on the truck and trailer have all been fantastic and have never seemed stressed, but..... I keep looking for ways to reduce the pin lbs to get closer to my trucks spec.
I bought a 4 wheeler to put in back and that didn't seem to change it much. I've pulled with a full tank of fresh and am assuming that the water added to my pin weight, though I don't really know for sure.
either way, I'll try to post here again when I measure it the next time.
