Abstract:
A method and apparatus to determine the payload in a mobile machine by measuring the total weight of the mobile machine, the fuel in a fuel tank on the mobile machine, and the payload. The weight of the fuel is determined as the machine operates, and the actual weight of the payload is determined by subtracting the weight of the fuel and the weight of the mobile machine.
