Most bathroom scales go 250#, just use 2 scales and a couple of 2x4's to
make a bipod or H shaped frame. Highway patrol mobile scales always weigh
each wheel and add them up.

2.) You should be able to find a bathroom scale that goes to 280 or 300
for
not much money. Counterweight the aft end of the trailer with known
weight
such that you're in the usable range of your scale, then calculate the
net
effect on the tongue weight of the removal of the counterweight, based
on
tentative wheel position.


That might work. Lets see.... I could put a known weight, say me, on the
end.
Just have to recalculate how that effects the tongue for each proposed
wheel
position.
