It's not the pin weight but rather the Jack weight.
Pin weight would be less.
That's the debate that always comes up... Jack weight would be different than pin weight because of the lever effect. My point is that with the jacks down, I'm weighing the TOTAL weight of the trailer. Then the weight on axles. doing the math tells me that what's not on the axles, has to be on the pin.
The trailer doesn't weigh more because it's sitting on it's jacks vs if you had a tripod under the pin. Total weight would be total weight... correct?
