What would your weight estimate be for freshly cut Leylandii logs level load in a single cab pickup- see pictures below .

Payload of truck is 1045kg - is it near this or way off?

 

I have measured the combined weight of these logs and would like to see what people's estimates are. Given this is probably a common load I guess people might have some idea? 

 

I will reveal the exact weight in kgs after several people have made educated guesses!

About 550 kg.

Half a ton

Thanks. Not yet in the right 100s

So far:

400kg

500kg

550kg

560kg

600kg

650kg

880kg

 

Also does anyone know if total payload effects allowed towing weight ? 

My Isuzu rodeo 2004 2wd states

1750 kerb (unladen vehicle + 1 person)

2800kg gvw (max payload 1050kg)  2000kg towing.

 

So its correct that I can have 1050kg in truck and tow 2000kg at the same time? Not planning this as I only tow 750 braked but good to know.

The law has changed now so if I’m right then practically anyone can tow 3t again.

Don't think it's the license weight is a limited as such.

 

It's more what the plated weight capacity of the vehicle and trailer is capable.

 

Think anyone can now tow legally like 5ton with a f150 as an example.

It’s leylandii, i can’t believe that’s 900kg+. 280kg. Final offer. 
 

For vehicle weights, go off the plate in the truck. But I’d imagine you’dbe able to carry a tonne + tow 2. My pickup has a gvm of 3.5t and max towing 3.5t. Max train weight 7t.

Maybe less but I’ve been biased by everyone else’s guesses.

290-310 was my actual guess if I’m not being a coward about it.
