For about $10, it weighs all three axles simultaneoulsy and individually, and gives you a printout. I highly recommend it, especially in your case.

Now that is a great tip, thanks. I've seen those CAT emblems around but never knew exactly what they were. There happens to be one nearby, too.

I was thinking of going to the county landfill scales but it is a one piece unit. The Cat would be very convenient to get all three axles measured at the same time.
