<< I guesstimated around
2,000 pounds based on the 8,000 pound on-road load limit of the
M109A3, vs. the 10,000 pound limit for the M35A2. Oops, that would
have to be about 2,000 pounds heavier than an M35A2 cargo body.
I DON'T HAVE MY TM'S HERE, BUT YOU SHOULD COMPARE THE WEIGHT OF A CHASSIS
TRUCK (M-45A2) TO THE WEIGHT OF THE M-109A2 TO GET THE SESIGHT OF THE BOX. I
BET 4-5000LBS.
I haven't seen the load plate on an M246, but I wouldn't be surprised
if its longer boom had the same ratings vs. radius, and thus had an
even lower limit at the radius that I'd need to get maximum hook
height.
I HAVE THE TM AT HOME, I CAN LOOK TOMORROW IF YOU LIKE.
