Brumby Weight?

Delusion · Post by **Delusion** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 1:50 pm

I see conflicting specs on the weight of Subaru Brumby's. I have checked the compliance plate on mine and it rekons 1620 kg, yet when I look at specs on the internet for instance carsales they reckon 970kg?? What is the true weight of brumby's ? Surely they are lighter then the 1800 wagons ?

970Kg sounds pretty close. Last time I went to the dump with a tray full of garden waste I weighed in at around 1200kg.

The 1620kg value would be the GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass), this is the brumby and what ever it’s towing/carrying.

I'm pretty sure it'd be 970kg, my MY wagon tare is 1010kg (apparently), 1200 doesn't sound right.

I heard that a brumby and a wagon weigh almost the same due to some strengthening that has been done to a brumby so it can carry more weight in the tray. Not sure if it is true or not. But i guess in order to be able to actively carry some heavy stuff in a brumby some pannels would have had to be double layed and braced with beams.

My Hatch has a tare of 900 according to the papers.

The factory manual says curb weight is 930kg (4wd) and 945kg (4wd gl) all 4wd models other than Saudi Arabia and Australia have a curb weight of 975kg. What did we miss out on?

My 2WD automatic coupe is 900 . . . so 970 sounds pretty close.

ive had mine on a waybridge and it was 1000 with me in it, and im about 70 so, 930, though not an exact reading due it been rounded off from about 25 either way.... though when i loaded it up with what i was carting it came to 1700 (gave it a nice lowered look with lots a negetive camber and light steering

). a bit over the legal load limit of 440
