On the scale we have a 2283 Barlow/Jacobus x self and it was pollinated on June 23rd. The scale itself weighs 360 lbs, I trained vines for a few weeks, in order to leave a big area for the scale. We put down 8' 2x6s yhen backed the trailer up, we then set the scale on the 2x6s and as I held the pumpkin we slide yhe scale in place. The platform is 4x4 but I extended it to 5x5 with 3/4 treated wood. I didnt have time to weld extensions on and cut drain silts with plasma cutter. So in order to combat flucations with the platform, I have to cover the kin and scale with a tarp everytime I water.
