How much does she weigh?
OK, this isn't a post about one of Mafair's girls in case you read the subject and was wondering. I finally did it! I stopped at the CAT scales and weighed my rig. Man was I surprised! Lets see what you guys think. How much does my rig weigh? The trailer is 36ft from hitch to bumper and I had 2 horse on the trailer when I weighed it. I'll give you a hint, the horses have a combined weigh of about 2000 pounds. I'll post the results when I get to work tomorrow and can scan the receipt. Just for fun, try and guess what each axle weighed and a combined weight. You can see pictures of the rig in my image gallery.

Ok, the scanner is broke here at work so I'll just go ahead and post the results. The numbers posted are in pounds.
Front axle = 4,420
Rear axle = 6,640
Trailer axles = 11,000
Gross weight = 22,060 [sm=yikesomg.gif]
I couldn't believe that gross weight! I asked the lady if this was the right ticket, and she said I was the only one that light that had been thru the scales all day!
The trailer was practically empty when we left. The 90 gallon diesel tank was empty, the water tanks on the traielr were empty and I did not have 10-12 bales of hay on the trailer like I normally do. I bet I've been close to 25k at times when making the long hauls and the trailer and truck are stocked and loaded.

RE: How much does she weigh?
I'm guessing its the same as we got or very close, since he said two water tanks. We carry 5-6 bales, a new gas Onan generator, the two water tanks stay full, 1 horse sometimes 2, 3 saddles, and more stuff in the living area. I need to see what it weighs one of these days and see how we compare to Cowboybob
