2005 M450 on Ebay

Hi,
Going to have to get a REAL engineer to calculate that
(David....you're being called )
FYI
The 450 Tag:Drive ratio was originally set at 40:60 with the max on the tag of 13,000....so the tag topped out at its limit (13,000) when the rear total load was 32,500 . ..13,000 on the tag and 19,500 on the drive. Any additional load was put on the drive.
BB in their wisdom (funny) changed the ratio to 35:65 to show less front end load in the unloaded state. Now the tag doesn't reach 13,000 until the drive gets to 24,142. (beyond legal limits). rear tandem load 37,140.
So adding the Hog would bring the tag up to 13,000. and weight back to the front.
Back to the trailer I guess--( and that limit is 10,000 after the recall... probably due to rear tongue weight being restricted to 1000 lbs.)
