Depends on where you are hauling at and your tolerance for fines.
Field to bin, you will probably never be bothered.
If you are crossing a scale on the interstate 4 times a day, you will have to haul a few bushel less.
As long as you can have 36 ft on your tandems, to get your 68,000 there, the thousand pounds off of 80 will not be a killer.
That shorter trailer will weigh a little less than the longer one, so your net will be slightly better than you think.
Also, you might not get 12,000 on the front. If that is the case, you may be hauling 78,000- 79,000 any way.
