    Yes, I read it, and while I can see where one could infer that meaning, it was never specifically stated...just a general "This is what I run, and this is what I weigh...what about you" posting. Only difference between him pulling his trailer and me (or anybody else, for that matter) pulling his trailer is the tractor weight...which is what I gave him. Trailer tare weights should be easy enough to find (might have to contact the mfg or a dealer) for that, though, if he wants to compare the back end of the combo to try to lighten himself up a bit. But this is the O/O section and he was asking for empty weights, and that's what people are giving him.
