Advice. Weight of an old Rice trailer ??

[Muddywellies]

It carries 2 x 17.2hh and is fairly old. I am struggling to find the weight of it. Have been advised anywhere between 950 kg and 1500 kg but i don't see how it could possibly be 1500kg. The most sensible answer i have come up with is 1100kg. Can anyone else offer any advice on this ?

I have an old rice - well over 20 years old - and the weight on that is 1100 kgs. I only usually tow 1 horse on it so it isn't a problem for me. Infact it really makes it a sturdy smooth ride!!

I'm not sure - I think it is the old europa!! Does that help?

Oh crikey! Yours is smaller and lighter then. Many thanks for your response though.

is there a local weighbridge you could tow it to and get it weighed?

i towed it with an 4ltr nissan patrol carrying 1 x 15.3 ID/TB and a 16.3 ID/TB
