Help with scale numbers

[oxygen]

Weighed at local grain elevator and here are the numbers

truck by itself
steer axle-3240lbs
drive axle-3000
gross weight-6240

tt + tv- WDH(equalizer) bars disconnected

steer axle- 2940
drive axle- 4200
trailer axle - 5360lbs.
gross weight- 12500

tt + tv-WDH engaged

steer axle- 3060
drive axle- 3900
trailer axle- 5540
gross weight- 12500

tv is Rockwood Ultra Lite, ship weight- 5676, hitch weight- 739
gvwr- 6739, this info taken from web site, yellow sticker on side of tv for dry weight is 5840lbs

tv iv 2012 f150 EB, screw, heavy duty, payload is 2440lbs.

please ?check my math

total gross weight mlnus truck gross, engaged = trailer weight = 5540lbs

tv engaged Wdh minus tv unhitched = 720lbs , weight transfered to tv

tt hitched axle weight minus tt unhitched axle weight = 180lbs.

720lbs. + 180lbs. = 9oolb tongue weight

tongue weight is 16% of tt weight

front axle tv unhitched minus hitched front axle = 300lbs.

engaging wdh put back 180lbs to steer axle

is tongue weight added to tt axle weight to get tt weight?

any adjustments needed?






any adjustments i should make to wdh?

The weight of your trailer is 6,260.

How much front axle weight restoration does Ford recommend in your owner's manual? You are over the 50% that others have mentioned.

It looks like if you can adjust the hitch, you can put back another 150 LBS on the front axle of the truck.

It looks like if you can adjust the hitch, you can put back another 100 LBS on the front axle of the truck.

"is tongue weight added to tt axle weight to get tt weight?"

Yes it is included in the trailer total weight

900 pounds looks right. How does it handle? Do you have any adjustment left? You can try tilting the head back and see if it rides better.
