Is this the right room for an argument? Hehe. Did you get Monty Python on the tv over there? If not, that won't mean anything to you! :smokin:

How much does Monty Python weigh.....?.....:smokin:

Ok if you want real world experiance. I just took a bunch of my lead I use to make bullet with to the scrapyard. 9 buckets and a few bars weighed 1422#. It all fit nicely with the seat down and rode fine. The front end WAS a little light, not bad though. The guy at the scale house wonderd what kind of car I was in because it was hardly squating at all. Total weight 5400 pounds.

Yeah we weighed it on a drive on scale then unloaded and reweighed. Other wise we would have had to unload and weigh on a smaller scale then move the lead again. Much easier to do it once. Might have cost me a little but I get all my lead for free.Dave, I did tell him it was a Jeep!!!

Not actually. They do that here. You drive up on the scales and they weigh the loaded vehicle and then it is unloaded and you drive back up on the scales and then they weigh it again and subtract the difference. The difference was the weight of the cargo.

Around here they do that everywhere. At the scrap yard, the stone quarry, the dump.

Yeah I know
I am the guy who installs/services those scales
that is not the fishy part
the part that is fishy is that they told him he had 1422# on a scale
that ,by federal law, has to weigh by 20# division if it is being used for buying or selling
the other fishy part was that his KJ weighed under 4000#
even a 2wd 4 ****** weighs over 4000#
just saying........

I don't think JT means that. He was questioning the math. If it was a salvage yard paying someone for weight of scrap, I don't trust them. I have had several instances that didn't seem right myself.
