Ransome MG 40 Weights

[chris]

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what the weight of an Ransomes MG 40 diesel is please? I don’t want to be overloading car or trailer. The wife has just asked what it weighs and she needs an answer!
One website is suggesting over two tons, which I cannot believe when the other models are 13 / 14 cwt.
Strangely the handbook does not give weights . Unless I have a page missing!

Thanks everyone. Chris

You’re right to be sceptical that it would weigh two tons! An MG40 weighs about the same as an MG6 and slightly more than an MG5. I haven’t got the weight written down anywhere (can’t find it in the book), but it’s certainly less than a ton.

The Diesel MG40 with hydraulics weighs 15 1/4cwt (772kg)

Thanks Neil and urbanalfa,
That’s around the weight I thought, but nice to have it confirmed , the good lady wife is now happy and comfortable with that, she was worried it would break the car!
Strange the weight. is not in the instruction books! It is not in my 40 or my 6 operators books.
