Park your unit on some concrete, get a spring scale and attach it to a lever fixed to the steering wheel at a distance from the steering shaft center of one, two, three, etc. FEET (we're dealing with FOOT/pounds) and pull on it whilst reading the scale.

Oh, don't forget to add in a little 'chuck-hole/furrow' factor!
