    I don't know the weight of the tractor alone but the 93 CH weighs 31,600 with a 53ft Hyundai van. 300 gallons of fuel 218wb.

    What's your WB? I'm gonna have to hit the scale bobtail. On the wagon I swear the tag said 12,500 if that's the case I'm a fat 19,100

    Or it might of said 13,500. Either way it's built pretty heavy not having any emission junk hanging off it

    A few weeks ago getting loaded I was bs'ing with a gentleman that had a 96 T600 with an aluminum frame. He was a little over 15,000 now that's light

    I'm a 230" wheelbase.
    But you also said your weight is with 300 gals on board. That's ~1050lbs right there..

    Always thought a 53' van was about 13500lb, but I honestly never looked, let alone pulled one. Those 2 things would get you down around 17,000lb if so..?
     
    oldtrucker66 and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    True about the fuel. You were right I just looked it up 13,750. A bit lighter than I thought. Around 17,850 with 300 gal of fuel
