How much does a model M weigh? I'm asking because we are trying to figure out what type of trailer will be needed to haul it to distant shows and parades. I can't find the weight info on any of the regular sites. Thanks for your help! Jeff

Guy Fay's IH Tractor Data Book lists:
M weight as 5,075
Super M as 5,100
Super MDV as 6,450

Rear wheel weights = 145 each.
Liquid in rear wheels = ??
Hope this helps. My nickel Dick Davis

An M will weigh a minimum of 5,000 pounds, and most of them will be closer to 6,000. You will need a trailer that has the deck over the wheels, because the M will not fit between the fenders on a regular style unless you turn the rear wheels so they are dished in. The ideal trailer for your needs will have a minimum 14,000 pound load capacity. You might get by with slightly less trailer, but you won't save any money, and if you get more trailer than needed right now, you will be good to go for a long time.

They weigh between 5,000 and 6,000 pounds depending on the number and type of wheel weights and if there is fluid in the tires. A 7,500 pound capacity trailer and a 1/2 ton truck are not going to work safely. Hal

As long as you have a good double axle trailer with good tires and enough truck to start the load and stop it, the wieght probably will not be the issue, most Ms are too wide to fit on normall trailers. You will need a deck over trailer to get an M on it. I have an 84" trailer and I am about 6" too narrow to put my M on. As for weight, I am gonna guess somewhere around 3500-4000#, not sure, so I am guessing.

Something that was suggested to me that sounds like a good idea that I've done a little research on is to get an Equalizing hitch. Look into it. They sound like a good idea for heavy woobly tractors.
