[QUOTE="MadRanchTX, post: 857463, member: 13939"] I feel like such a dummy on here. Nice to be able to offer advice on something I know about. I don't have anything to say about the extension office, other than not much luck with mine. I do have a lot of experience with load cells, if your going to build your own scale be careful with the mounting, weight distribution, and movement. Load cells work great and are pretty rugged, you can jump up and down on them no problems. If weight is not distributed evenly across them (4 typically) then the reading will be inaccurate. Side loading will kill them in a heartbeat. Make sure all the force (weight) is directed straight down, If you apply force at an angle to the cell it's toast. The above kit looks like a decent setup for the price. Each cells capacity adds to the total capacity of the scale. I.E if you have (4) 250 lb cells the total weight capacity of the scale is 1000 lbs. [/QUOTE]
