    According to the manuals:

    CURB WEIGHT, FULLY EQUIPPED, LESS PAYLOAD AND CREW
    Front Axle 2,800 lbs.
    Rear Axle 3,600 lbs.
    Total 6,400 lbs.

    PAYLOAD*
    Cross Country 2,000 lbs.
    Highway 2,000 lbs.

    GROSS WEIGHT, FULLY EQUIPPED, PLUS PAYLOAD AND CREW
    Front Axle 3,000 lbs.
    Rear Axle 5,800 lbs.
    Total 8,800 lbs.

    *Add 2 man crew and gear, 400 lbs.


    so bascally, its 6400 lbs empty and 8800 lbs loaded...which includes 400 pounds for crew and ger and 200p for payoad...or 2400 lbs. total.

    Awesome info guys thanks !
    The M725 in question was still in the Hellenic Army (decomissioned) but the Greek law says that all vehicles below 2.5tons cannot be sell to indivuals as they must be recycled (!!!!).Sounds unheard of but this is it!
    BUT any vehicle over 3.5tons can be sold privately
    Sooo I will start the paperwork really soon (I hope)

    a BIG thank you to all for your priceless help

    If I am not mistaken, the data plate shows 8400 lbs in both configurations and then one adds the 400 lb. allotment for the crew and gear.

    The manual does state that the payload is 2000 lbs. for both on and off road, as noted above, which is different than the M715 which has a 2500 lb. off road and 3000 lb. on road rating.

    Does your data plate have a blurb at the bottom of the section on weight about the 400 lb. allotment for crew/gear?
