I don't know if you weighed "loaded for bear" meaning, all that you will carry in passengers, pets, water, bikes, coolers, etc., etc. on both trips to the scales. Correct, hence the above comments

It looks like "without bars" or with bars is 200# difference means you didn't weigh the disconnected bars on the "without" trip across the scales. True? Always weigh the disconnected bars. The bars were still attached to the hitch just not to the trailer.

With bars on, you transferred 140# to the trailer axle pair and 380# to the steer axle. That's more than I have ever needed to re-distribute to the steer axle. But, if you say that was it, I believe you. Not sure it would matter but the first weigh-in was not the same scale as the other three, but I wouldn't think that should matter.

Different scales explains it. A few hundred # deviation is normal. CAT scale calibration method is a guarded secret but they guarantee to truckers if an inaccurate weight results in a fine they will make it good. I would imagine weight not placed on scale section centers would have deviation. Be safe
