Re: Reich scales

Arrived today , but they have to go away till Christmas day ! The box did seem quit small and light , light enough to take on a trip without worrying about the extra weight

They will weigh up to 1500kg per wheel . There is a cheaper version that will do up to 1000kg per wheel.

Re: Ranger data plate

So I guess when I am fully loaded ,; if I am under weight on the front axle I could fill my front bumper with lead ingots to bring it up to max ? Using the front axle as a fulcrum it would give me more allowance in the back ?
Complicated isn't it ?

Going back to ...
