Thanks Les!
I have been looking hard to find out all about this tractor and this web site has been my saving grace. I've been a mechanic for a long time and have learned you never stop learning and if you need help you need to call a Pro. Anyway I can't seem to find the trailering weight of a 1961 Dexta.

Hi David, according to the University of Nebraska tractor test, a 1959 Dexta with operator weighs 3393 lbs. I tried to cut and paste the info but it would not work. The test data is available on their website. Have fun with your Dexta, its a great tractor!

David,

I copied these numbers from a 1957 Fordson Dexta Instruction booklet:

Total weight with fuel, oil and water> 2,980 lb. (1,352 Kg)

Weight on rear axle> 1,725 lb. (782.5 Kg)

Weight on front axle> 1,255 lb. (569 Kg)

Weight of fuel, oil and water> 155 lb. (70.3 kg)

I would expect that these weights are without wheel weights and/or fluid in the tires.

Les
