GearheadGrrrl Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 That's a respectable weight- some of the newer tractors weigh close to 20,000 pounds fueled up and ready for the road. A Postal Service CH613 tractor with that much fuel and no wet kit, toolbox, etc. weights a bit over 16,000 pounds for comparison.

I thought that these new trucks were all in the mid 15,000 range wet. I figure that with a full tank of fuel ( 86 more gallons of fuel, or 126 gallons total) I would add about 605 pounds.15680 + 605 = 16,285 wet,guess thats not to bad.Trent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/955-truck-weight/#findComment-4905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

twostickmutt Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 my MH-613 with the E-9 was 19000 lbs. Quote and remember "PREFORMANCE COUNTS" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/955-truck-weight/#findComment-4907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The Postal Serviice Macks have the 300 horse E7 with Allison automatic, Eaton rears (power divider guarenteed to blow before 400,000 miles) on Hendrickson air ride, air starter, 60 gallon tank, and no air conditioning or even a radio. The CH613 tractor weights around 16,200 pounds with me and maybe 30 gallons of fuel, so they're under 16,000 pounds empty. The MR613 tractor weights around 17,000 pounds, probably due to the 1/4 inch thick front bumper with a 1/4 inch reinforcement behind it, the deep belly frame, and all the other heavy duty stuf that makes an MR an MR.
