Leesburg, Ohio | We have two Weigh-Tronix systems from Central City, and the neighbor had one as well. Contrary to one of the above posts, we have found them to be very accurate. In fact, we put one system on a rather old Kinze 600H, and it matched the elevator scales almost to the pound with no calibration changes at all. We have weighed all our corn and beans right out of the field for four years now, and are usually within 1.5%.
The other system is a platform scale that we use to split-weigh semis, and have found it to be fairly accurate "right out of the box" as well. The only problem with the platform scale is we have never been successful in split-weighing a triple-tandem semi (as in a coal-bucket trailer). The auto accumulation mode wants to quit after three sets of axles, and we haven't done it often enough to figure it out. We just add them up seperately.
Also have a set of weigh bars to go on the cattle sqeeze chute, but haven't installed them yet.
I don't think these are accurate enough for state certification, but they work well for us. The guys at Central City are good to work with.
FWIW
