Dennis,

No, that's what I read on the roadside scale (unattended), so was able to
roll up and stop the FA on the scale, then went forward, weighed the entire
unit, then forward again and weighed the rear axle separately, just as I
used to do for trucks. Wrote 'em down and stuck it in my little black book,
which I took out and referenced.

The heavy front was surprising to me, too - - for subsequent trips I may
redistribute some of my stuff. Had 3 milk crates full of power tools, plus
my (heavy) box of mechanic tools, all just behind the front seat. Probably
make the dog sit farther back, too!  :^)
