Who's bragging about anything? I thought we were talking about ~TARE~ weight, not gross... For what it's worth, here in nova scotia, the maximum alowable on a single drive axle is 9000 KG. On a tandem drive, that's 18000 KG (just shy of 40000#). Steering axles go by the axle tag AND the tires, but to achieve full scale of 8000 KG you require an 18000# front with minimum of 385 tires (if they put that on the asphalt)... but really you should ahve 425 tires. Twin steers (tandem tandem) can go up to another 8000 KG on the second steer. So... a single axle can gross up to 17000 KG. A tandem can gross up to 26000 KG. A twin can go to 34000 KG. A tri-drive, I think are now allowed to scale on the third member... so they could go to 35000 KG if I'm not mistaken.
Tractors are not allowed to scale over 5500 KG on their steers and 18000 KG on the drives... plus the same on the trailer... so single trailer is 32500 KG. Tandem trailer is 41500 KG (91300#), tridem trailer is 50500 KG (111,100#)... and I believe the 'Super B' tops out at 68500 KG (150,700#), but I'd really have to check that to be sure. That's just how it axles out. So far as I'm aware, there is none of this 'bridge formula' crap. You respect individual axles and your gross, without tolerance.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
