Determine tongue weight

   / Determine tongue weight #31  
But before I walk through it, I measure it to make sure it is correct width, and then measure myself to make sure I will fit through it, then inspect it for any structural defects. I also oil the hinges every ten times I go through the door, and replace the knob biannually. I know some people prefer to let the dealer do the knob replacement, but I hate having to take the door in and being without it for a week.

You forgot to ask your wife if it was ok....

Are you out of your mind?!?!? You have to inspect the threshold to ensure it's not rotted and will support the weight! lol

I replaced my thresholds with titanium some years ago, to avoid having to do this. I mean, really! Who wants to check their threshold EVERY time they go outside?

Well who wants to go outside without checking the weather? Come on guys, if its not a perfect day outside, why bother?

Oh GREAT! Now we are going to have to define a PERFECT day.

Am enjoying the discussion and the info.

Well we could revisit the question considering a goose neck trailer tongue weight, associated weight measuring schemes, loading and tie down techniques and risks. Then, we could decide which is the perfect trailer for hauling the perfect tractor :drink:eek:n a perfect day!
