On the topic of scales, On 816 we use this scale (Or one that looks exactly like it): http://interstatedeals.com/royal-exa...5w-p-1352.html.

To make it work for us we took a piece of 3/4" plywood and cut it down to about 38" by 28" and then added a small jig on the bottom so it fit over the scale. All you have to do is zero it out with the piece of plywood on top and you're good to weigh. It's worked really well for us so far. (Since 2007)

I'd estimate that you could replicate our setup for about $75 or so.
