the 1200 is the gross payload then deduct staff & tools from the 1200 ,thats your payload

[simonm]

so it would be less than 700 kg really as we had hardly any tackle onboard

700 kg sounds good I expected less especially if you had 4 passengers like me I always assume 1/2 tonne of sand is pushing it. When you have the truck a year or two you find it stuffed with all those cant do with out nick nacks

Dont forget to subtract the weight of the residual chip that gets jammed in everything like the heater vents, door pockets ,cab etc and all the old coke cans and maccy D wrappers. . You might be down to 500kg.

Double cab. Tools. 2 blokes 5.6t. Opp's. Hence upgrade

[GTS]

then theres the different axel weight restrictions, towball weight, chipper weight to think about and add too. how heavy is that? your gross payload is, as everyone says, minus all your tools and chaps! does the total push you over the magic 3500kg? Tacho time? Good luck!

We did have our snap boxes in the cab and them sarnies were fairly heavy!
