FSK Livestock Scale Kit Build Your Own Scale at a Fraction of The Price

The Scale is super easy to install to the platform we made, a few minutes to weld blocks on legs to hold the cells and they walked me through the calibration portion step by step. super friendly and willing to help to get their unit up and going for the kids 4h animals definitely will buy again

This is your biggest bang for your buck! Ease of setup with outstanding support. Scale quality of all the components is top tier. Accurate reading and has been a big contributor to our operation that didn't break the bank. Must buy!

Big kudos for their customer service. This is the second set of scales I've built, and the customer service and support I got from you guys the first time around was a major factor in my decision to buy from you guys again. When I bought my first set, I had some questions around mounting the load cells (I needed to know if re-tapping the threaded holes would impair the load cell's accuracy) and they were super helpful and responsive. It is because of that I chose to buy scales from A & A again. I use these scales to weigh small GA airplanes, and they've worked great so far - so much so I am building a second set of scales to expand business.

1 year update:Still love it! We use it often to weigh show goats in the barn as well as weighing calves in an ally way. It’s perfect for both. 2 thumbs upLike a certain fast food franchise says….I’m loving it!I have been wanting a set of scales for a while but couldn’t afford to buy the full kit. Bought this one and super glad I did.I stole a previous reviewers idea of using wood. I did however weld the mounting brackets to a piece of flat bar and sunk those into the 4x4’s. Please don’t judge me by my carpentry skills.The unit was easy to wire together but there was a good bit of excess wiring to try to conceal. I could have shortened them for my application but who knows if you’ll need longer wires in the future. Tried to secure cables from the load cells where they were not being pulled on or at an angle. Wiring into the main unit was a cinch.We ran some 300-500 weight calves over it when we finished and it performed wonderfully. This summer we will also use it to weigh show goats and see no issues there.We used the super scientific calibration technique putting 2 sacks of feed on there as using it as 100. After calibration it still read 100 and one bag weighed 50 so I’m going to call it good and recommend you buy one as well

We wanted a scale but spending $500+ was just not appealing. We used 4x4 metal tubing and 2x12" to create the frame. Ran the wiring and added side posts to keep the cattle from go off the sides. Overall, nice purchase and worth the money!

Product was as described, my only suggestion would be to give instruction's for calibration. I ended up finding it on YouTube.

We bought this scale over a year ago and it has worked perfectly. Out of nowhere it would not read anything but zero. We reached out to the company and they were so helpful! Some wires had come loose (our fault, not theirs). They walked us through how to fix it and it’s working perfectly again! Great product and great company!

***UPDATE***After speaking with A and A scales they were able to help troubleshoot and explained how to fix the load cell that was giving me my problem. I would purchase from this company again and would recommend this to anyone trying to build thier own set of scalesBought to make a cattle scale for feeder calves. Scale works fine when a human gets on or off but when a calf steps on,the scale displays "nnnnnnnnnn" in all number positions. When calf steps off the scale it reads a large negative number. Have recalibrated this numerous times and again works fine for humans. Even checked max weight and it was 5000lbs. Calves are weighing roughly 900
