Abstract

See full text

An apparatus determines the payload carried in a work vehicle by monitoring the pressure of a fluid contained within front and rear suspension struts. The struts are connected in supporting relation between a load carrying portion and a ground engaging portion of the work vehicle such that a compression condition of the strut is detected while the work vehicle is in motion. Moreover, a pressure differential corresponding to the compression condition is indicative of the magnitude of the payload supported by the strut.
