How much is the gvw of a tractor?

The gross vehicle weight (GVW) of a tractor can vary depending on the specific make and model, as well as any modifications or attachments that have been added. Here are some general ranges for the GVW of different types of tractors:

- Compact tractors: 1,500 to 6,000 pounds (680 to 2,720 kilograms)

- Subcompact tractors: 1,000 to 3,000 pounds (450 to 1,360 kilograms)

- Utility tractors: 3,000 to 8,000 pounds (1,360 to 3,630 kilograms)

- Row-crop tractors: 8,000 to 24,000 pounds (3,630 to 10,890 kilograms)

- Heavy-duty tractors: 20,000 to 40,000 pounds (9,070 to 18,140 kilograms)

It's important to note that the GVW of a tractor is different from its towing capacity. The towing capacity refers to the maximum weight that the tractor can safely pull behind it. The GVW includes the weight of the tractor itself, any attachments or implements that are being used, and the weight of any passengers or cargo that are being carried.

To determine the GVW of a specific tractor, it's best to consult the manufacturer's specifications for that particular model. This information can typically be found in the owner's manual or on the manufacturer's website.
