Thank goodness all the Oregon closed scales still show the weights...comes in really handy! Great post.

Yes sir, it is nice to know real numbers for sure. Great idea, thank you for starting!

So where do you go to find scales you can use to weigh your load?

Most scales in Oregon that are not officially open remain active. See a closed scale, stop and read the numbers. This one is east of Scio, about 5miles down the road. There is another I have used on hwy 22 as well between Detroit and Mill City. They are all over the place, best of luck.

Was that with WD bars or without?
Oregon have scales with visible display that works even when station is closed.
In CA not all scales display the weight. One time I pulled my motorhome to the empty scales and went inside for readouts.
The officer would not give them to me for "liability reasons"
BTW 8200lb for 2 tires is a lot even for 19.5". What is the tire rating?

Good deal. Glad your combo is working out!

I've stopped at quite a few of them. There's also one near Gates up Hwy22, there's one out Hwy 26 on the way to Hood, and there's one somewhere around St Paul I've used too.

No white knuckles?
