{"replyTo":"","text":"Depending on the state you are in varies the answer. In general to stay safe in all of the combine lower 48, you can normally not exceed 80,000 LBS Gross Vehicle Weight. This equalls out to 12,000 Steer, 34,000 Drive (tandom), 34,000 Trailer (tandom) = 80,000 Gross Vehicle Weight. Those are the normal \"maximum\" weight for that set up. If you were to \"spread\" your trailer axel you may have a weight of 20,000 per axel but to not exceed the 80,000 max Gross Vehicle Weight. So to add it 12k S, 34k D, 20k T1, 20k T2 = 86k GVW. That is bad. So you need to take 6K from Drives and go from there. But that os the best general answer I can give for a general question. Please contact your safety department or DOT agency for more specialized inquiries.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"you can run up to 17k on the steers if the axle and tires are rated for that weight. my front axle is rated for 13,200 with tires to match. at 80k my steer axle weighs 12,800, I have never had a problem addy the scales loaded like this.  they have checked the tire and axle ratings though.","replyToPid":16759}
