I'd say between 700-800 pounds if it has the truck rearend in it. My brother has one, and its pretty heavy for what it is.

You can tow it to a public scale at a truck stop. Would probably be the fastest way too. Do you pay according to the weight? Guess light and always round down..

i would try to find somewhere with a scale garbage disposal facility or truck stop.

As mentioned above, truck weighing stations, city dump/county dumps (landfill), and even a metal salvage yard can do it for you.

If you require a certificate, call these places to see if they can give you one...

Grain elevators are a good place to scale too, they usually do it free if ther're not busy. Around here anyway. Here in SD, you have to have the printed scale slip to prove weight when registering it.

well my problem is that it is in texas and i am in iowa and i might haul it back to iowa if i can get a plate for it with out having to jump through a million hoops while i am down there

I have one (the one my brother jabbo mentioned) and I really would think 700-800 lbs would be real close. How soon are you going to do this? If its going to be a few weeks I may be able to go get mine weighed to give you a more accurate number.

[krazy_texan]

it will be a few weeks yours looks exactly like mine to except for yours has a longer tounge on it so if you could weigh it sometime that would be awesome and alot of help

You guy's actually have to tag a truck bed trailer? We don't have to around here, until it reach's a certain weight class.

You have to tag any and all trailers here. What's bad is that I don't think its a State law, but a city law. All I know is if you pull even a single axle 4' X 6' trailer in the City of Valley you will get a ticket if caught w/o a tag. Of course a regular speeding ticket here in Valley is $291 (ask me how I know ). They spend money like its water and they try to run it like a big city! OK - [RANT_OFF]
