In the D2 article posted in the machines section of this site it lists the specs for the J series and U series. The weights are considerably different...

What accounts for this difference? Is the D311 engine that much lighter?

That weight on the J series is incorrect, the shipping weight on the J series is shown as 6850 lbs, and for the early U series the ship weight is 6870 lbs, the later U model is 7430 lbs.

I have changed the figures to the ones Josh has given. I imagine there would be differences between 3j and 5j tractors as well. Josh, are the figures you gave for 3j or 5j ?

Those numbers are for the 5J and 5U, the 3J, 6710 lbs, and the late model 4U is 7175 lbs, I don't have the shipping weight for the early 4U, but it should be about 6710 lbs. For the operating weights add 170 lbs.
These weights are for the bare tractor.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
