Raptor 3612 fresh from scales

[Jerry Arnold]

Took Raptor 3612 to CAT scales, wow.
help me interpret please. 04 D/A SB gross weight 9200# (thats truck and pin weight?)GCVW 22000#(thats total weight truck and 5er?) trucks actual weight alone 7100#per scales at the landfill.
On the Cat Scales,
steer axle 4140
drive axle 5820
trailer axel 9940
Gross weight 19900

That would = 9960 for truck 760# to heavy
2100# light of 22000#
so if pin weight is to heavy how much would shifting weight behind rear wheels help my pin weight, alot? enough? not much? also gas tank 1/4 full in gen tank, ez go cart in garage 750#.

will add 600-700# bike in garage when we camp.other wise camper loaded exept clothes when weighed.

Adding any weight "behind" the trailer axles will reduce your pin weight. The furthur "behind" the axle the better the benefit. Of course adding more weight increases your gross weight. The biggest benefit would be moving a weight that is currently close to the pin, and moving it behind the axles. This doubles your benefit. Your both reduce the dead weight, and get the uplift from moving it outboard. Depending on trailer geometry, 500# moved this way could come close to getting rid of your 910# overload on the pin.
