Definitely not 750kg. I thought it was only around 300kg, but Gannon's figure could be right.

It is 395kg, at least that is what is stated in the 1990 Brumby sales catalogue.

Well the bump stops are only 20mm factory standard height so not too hard to squish that to zero. I have had 800kg of soil in/on mine and that was not a good idea.

The tyre loadings are about 450kg so it points more towards a load of between 395kg-450kg. I will use that. thanks everyone. Spin
