$20K Overweight Fine

Technically yes...a nice Canadian made machine it looks like too. I just can't see the model number on the back of it.

 

More than likely he was too heavy on the drives. Looks like a short well and unable to move the machine farther back. He had axles for 165 gross. Likely they had to bring him a jeep.

 

Sent it to a friend of mine. He said that buncher weighs about 120k and should have had a 2 axle jeep under the front. I imagine that wherever he was going up in the woods would’ve been a little tight with everything so he left the jeep and happened to get popped this time.

 

Well I'm not going to argue about the weight because I don't know, but judging from the looks of the machine and the amount of camber left in the deck I would have guessed it a fair bit lighter than that. If they took it back to 80,000 for the 84k overweight that puts him at 164k, less probably 60k tare, would put the machine at 100ish.

Just a guess.

The heaviest one I could find was 82K without the head. So if the head weighed 20k, which seems high to me, that puts you at 102k.

 

I just picked John Deere since it was the first one to pop up. Looks like their largest buncher head is the FR27 and it weighs in at 9,300 lbs.

 

Probably about right.
