METHOD OF ESTIMATING MOMENT OF WORK IMPLEMENT

A first payload computation value which represents a weight of loads loaded on the work implement in a first attitude is obtained. The first attitude and a second attitude are equal to each other in ratio between a horizontal distance from a position of a center of gravity of a first link member to a base end of the first link member and a horizontal distance from a position of the center of gravity of the loads loaded on the work implement to the base end. A second payload computation value which represents a weight of loads loaded on the work implement in the second attitude is obtained. When the first payload computation value and the second payload computation value are determined as being different from each other, a weight of a second link member is changed and processing above is repeated.
