Great looking bit of kit.

Tare weight is 1400 kgs. Right on the maximum towing weight of my vehicle, with brakes ... ;).

Be interesting to see how much it will cost. Looks impressive and expensive.

Yeah, Gronk

Based on the fact that one can easily add 600 kgs of water and other crap to that, makes it around 2 tonnes on the road.

Taking a reasonable approach that the towed weight should not exceed about 2/3rds of the towing vehicles weight, that puts the weight of one's tug at around 3 tonnes ...

It will suit some very well, but not for this little black duck ... ;).

That's a far too sensible comment to make around here! Forget you ever said it.
