Gerry,
I'll check the "technical inspection report" . I went with my dexta to the technical inspection some time ago, but if I remember well : MTM = ± 6 000 kg.

You can also call the "Inspection Mobile" or "Autokeuring", they have tables for this.

My dexta has 32 Horse power, but a donkey behind the steering wheel.

Thanks Jos for your reply, that would be helpful, i think the most i would be pulling would be around 3000kg. so if you are correct it is well inside . Would you have any idea on the single wheels on this type of trailer are they also inside spec. Gerry
