Ball Mount with a Scale for Tongue Weight

[BenL]

I now have three very different cars to tow, so I'm wonder about getting a scale to figure out where to place the cars on the trailer (with a weight distribution system, the swaying is minimal, but possibly it could be better). I stumbled across this option. It's a ball mount with a built-in scale. It can be used for towing up to 10,000 lbs with a 2" receiver. Has anyone tried using one?

There's also the Weight Safe Drop Hitch. With a 2 5/16" ball and a 2" receiver, it can tow up to 12,500 lbs.

It costs twice as much as the Fastway. Both are made from aluminum (except the ball) . It appears that the main difference appears to be that the Weight Safe has a nice looking hydraulic scale. The Fastway uses a spring.

Weigh Safe also has a weight distribution hitch with a scale

I use this one. It seems to be pretty close in regard to accuracy. It also uses a spring.
