    Maybe I am blind or one can of beer too far in; however I am looking for the MTO allowable gross measurements.

    Bought a tri axle pony pump dump thing and can't for the life of me find where the measurements are online to tell me what I can legally haul.

    Got the green and white involved last time for the truck and that was ok but I'd rather not have to wait a week or a year for them to show up and do some math. The pits I haul out of don't care if it had a stamp on it, however they need to know what I'm legal for.

    Truck is legal for 36,000 kgs with a spif air lift axle, with a 60" spread. Trailer is a tri axle with non spif air lift and 72" spread. Trailer is pretty light as it's got an alum. Box but I still need to figure out what I am legal for.

    Oh, and 7 axles total.

    4 axle truck and 3 on the wagon. 60" spread on truck and 72" on wagon.

    Most of the guy around here with similar setups are good for 61600 kgs

    I would check the 60 inch spread on the tractor. I'm sure 60" is illegal unless you have a crane mounted on it. I'll check it further and post.

    Scroll down to Schedule 9. https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/050413

    A Tri-Drive suspension can't be more than 2.8M which is 110.24 inches. So nothing over 55 inch spreads.
