Knowing very little about Mogs I find the weights in that link interesting.  I took the 404 to a weigh bridge, in chassis cab form with full fuel tanks and before I fitted the box on the back it was 1500kg front axle and 760kg back axle giving a total of 2260kg. Near enough the same as a 34hp 411. 

Why is there such a weight difference between the 32 and 34hp versions of the 411?

Does the 411 have similar running gear to a 404?  I guess that the 4 cylinder diesel is heavier than my 6 cylinder petrol?

So many questions . . .

So many questions - And so few answers it seems! I've got more info out of Brian alone than I've ever found on the net. Unimogs are such rare beasts that unless you can read other languages, you are pretty seriously restricted.

the figures depend very much on what eara of B series 411 they are quoting from, i believe the early 411 B's (32 HP) were fitted with pressed axles, pressed axles are much lighter than 3 piece axles, hence the weight difference between the b and c.
This will also explain the weight similarities with the 404 and 411 C, the 404 has pressed axles, lighter than the 411 C's three piece axles, but the weight gained in the chassis length on the 404 balance's it out :)

and dad says the 6 cylinder M180 lump is heavier :)

You need to get him posting on here more. Although if he's anything like my dad he's not into computers!

I'll be using mine to drag a car in for scrap very soon and will get the weight from the weigh bridge on the way out when empty. Handbook says 1795KG for short wheel base 411.
