1. A method of determining a mass of a load in a tipper body of a tipper, the tipper comprising the tipper body pivotably moveable with respect to a frame with a hydraulic cylinder disposed there between and actuatable to pivot the tipper body, the method comprising:

  • receiving at least one pressure parameter relating to the hydraulic pressure within the hydraulic cylinder at an angular position of the tipper body and at least one angular positional parameter relating to the angular position of the tipper body at the angular position; and

    determining a mass parameter relating to the mass of the load in the tipper body based on at least both the at least one pressure parameter and the at least one angular positional parameter.
