How much does it weigh...?
« on: January 28, 2009, 11:34:07 PM »
Does anyone know, approximately, what the dry weight of a 6/1 S-o-M, including base, alt & control box(es) is?

I'm hoping to buy one come spring, and I need to know if it'll go in my little trailer, or whether I need to use my car trailer - which is good for 2 tonnes, has decent tie-down options, and a winch; but it's a big old thing, and currently has a racing car on it. Oh, and it doesn't have a deck - so I'd need to make one.

For these reasons, I'd rather use the little trailer, but I have a feeling it's too little...

I did a weighbridge check on mine and the whole rig including cooling tank and big cast iron exhaust was 980 KG , so reckon on around 900kg for the SOM unit with control boxes.
