when i was on fountains we had a 6.5t daily and gtw was 8 1/4 ton

[nick channer]

if you look on platin certificate it will tell you full train weight... take the gross weight off the train weight and thats what the truck will tow..but i think most you can tow without hgv is 7.5 ton gross [i may be wrong]

8250kg is your limit on a pre 97 licence

8250kg is your limit on a pre 97 licence

 

so thats 1750kg ,running a 6.5t truck ,

 

andy do think a 65c17 daily will cope running @ 8250kg ,

Even on an old paper license?? I was told it was 7500kg truck plus 3500kg trailer.

Hi Dave

 

Pre 97 licences now have the C1+E code with a 107 restriction which restricts the train weight to 8250kg. The 107 restriction is usually denoted by an asterisk or other indication for the licence holder to look up (on the paper counterpart).

 

If you have a pre97 licence that doesn’t have a 107 restriction then you can go to the full 3500kg.

 

Do you have an old paper licence without the restriction? Mine had a restriction code.

I have had a look at my license and you are absolutely correct, they guy I spoke too must have been talking about an older paper one.

Should be plated at 10,000 kg gross train, so it would cope easily.
