Over Weight ?

[Grumpystumpy]

I'm going to buy a Carlton SP7015 TRX, the one Im looking at is a 2006 model.

 

Has anybody who's already got one, had it weighed ? I know the official literature states that its 2ton but I'm not convinced that this is right, I think its heavier. My trailer, with screens, boards, ramps, tools and spare diesel weighs 2.3 ton so it could be important. I'd rather not be on the M3 with a VOSA officer proving to me my trailer and machine is overweight.

What are you towing it behind?

Could well be 2 ton... I was looking at a really small Jo Beau tracked grinder and that came in at 1 ton, so 2 could be very possible.

A Defender 130. Well capable of towing 3.5t and legally.

Used one recently it had 1950kg stamped on the side, you knew you had it in tow!!

seams very heavy?

 

Yes you're right, should have been 1.3t not 2.3t, duh !

mines a 2007 and comes in at 2500kgs but i've upgraded the rubber tracks, fitted a tow bar and it was full of fuel and caked in mud when it was weighed.
