I was more talking about the max weight the manufacturer states in the datasheet. This is the technical weight capacity independent of road regulations and same for all countries across the world.b101uk wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 9:44 amwhile that is true, that is normally the local road weight limit, which can change from country to country or region to region, and is not applicable away from public roads.
which would mean the same tractor would have different weight limits depending on the region, so what may apply in the US may differ from the EU, and my differ between Germany and the UK even though both are in the same region.
it gets doubly more difficult, as the tyres fitted also change the weight limit, as do other options, along with less obvious that may be region or country specific like a minimum kW/tonne or HP/Ton, or if the trailer is not equipped with 2-line failsafe air brakes but instead hydraulic brakes else single line air, then the tractor must form 25% of the GTW.
you then have the differences between gross weight and gross train weight.
in other words it can turn into a can of worms, when in reality people who want to play realistically can do that anyway just by knowing the weight of items and using appropriate size trailers and tractors etc
Exceeding this will break warranty and can lead to boken axles or other damages.
This means that you might not be able to fill certain 3 point hitch implements completely as you either exceed this max weight capacity or outmax the hydraulic lift capacity.
