I think I paid about $250 for a single wheel scale, claimed accuracy is +/- 1% of applied load. To use it properly, you need to make a block the same height to put under the opposite tire. To be really, really correct, you should have the other axle at the same height, though the error will be very small. It looks like this but don't buy that one! Keep looking, you can find one in good condition for less.
