Unladen weight of the Ifor Williams 505 trailer?

[Bailey_Noxy]

Long story short(ish)... Big 510 towing car exploded and is ****ed! So have had to buy a Nissan X-trail. We know its not really capable of towing a fully laden 510 so we are going to sell the 510 and possibly buy a 505, but i've been looking on the internet and have come across two very different unladen 505 weights, 697kg and 905kg. Which of these(if any) is correct? Many thanks

yes from what I remember the 510 is about 1000kg and the smaller 505 about 100kg less the single horse would be about 700kg... hope that helps

Mine said 920kg on it, but had a wooden floor. 905kg sounds right for one with an ali floor.

Agree with above, you will not get a 505 with an unladen weight of 697Kg! The 405 (single version) could be this though. To be fair there isn't much difference in unladen weights between the 505 and the 510 only about 100Kg, the main difference is the payload.

my 505 with ali floor is 905kg

I did think under 700kg sounded a little ridiculous considering the 510 is 1000kg! But with the weight 905kg and the weight of the horses we should be able to pull a 505. Thanks for all the help!
