    With the small integrated sleeper not the condo style. Trying to find the lightest tractor with a sleeper to run end dumps. Can't seem to find the tare weights anywhere......

    Might be Nate, if the numbers work out. I started driving a Coronado with a 40" in bunk and the tare is 13,227 with wet kit, fuel and chains. That number seems kinda low though. I went through the scale and that's the weight I got. I just don't like driving them.

    pounds , I couldn't believe it either. Which is probably why we run them for the end/side dumps

    Nate, even winch tractors don't weigh that much.
