I had mine weighted a while back cause I was getting a load of mulch. They weight it prior to & after. My 78 was 3460 lbs. with out me. I had at least 60 lbs. of stuff with me.

I weighed mine a while back on a truck weigh station on the side of the freeway. It was closed and I zipped through, 3480lb with me in it and about half a tank of gas. I think the weight balance was like 48 rear 52 front.
