Hard to say with info provided! Does it have a blade and ripper installed? What type? These items can change weight by 10,000 to 12,000 lbs each. What model is it. I think you would be better served by a quick call to CAT with your model number and what attachments it has installed and let them tell you the weight. As a guess and only a guess I would say 80,000 to 90,000 lbs or 40 to 45 tons. If you are going more than a short distance you should be able to get it down to say 30 to 35 tons for shipping by stripping and loading items onto a second truck. Will save you on your over weight permit and DOT will probley insist on it anyway. AGAIN this is only a guess!!!
