[QUOTE="MosesR, post: 891917, member: 15246"] Oh my!! 4700 pounds dont leave much room for cattle. I just talked to Gooseneck Trailers Inc., the ole boy told me that the trailer should have 6000# axles and be reated at 9760#. I also found this number stamped on the painted over certification tag so I guess he is right. He then told me to multipy the 9760 by 25%,(% of weight the truck supports) add together and that will give me the GVWR (12200). He then said to weigh the trailer, subtract the trailer weight from the 12200 and that will give me the load capacity. Floyd, if it weighs 4700, the only leaves me with 7500# of cattle to haul. I hope it is lighter than that. [/QUOTE]
