Is there a rule of thumb as to the weight of a digger itself, related to the "1 ton", "1.5 ton", "3 ton" etc class it is in?
If I am planning a digger, and want to be able to tow it, how much of my towing weight will it account for?
eg a Kubota KLX41-3V is a "1.5 ton" digger which quotes approx 1600kg as an "operating weight" excluding operator, which is presumably how much it will add to my trailer.

Clearly extra buckets, muddy tracks etc add weight (or are they included), but I'm after a little more clarity and a little less fog.
