Hmm... That's interesting... perhaps that's why towing my M-17 feels so much heavier than my previous Compac 16. The Compac 16 is listed as 1100 lbs displacement, and the Monty 17 as 1600, but the difference felt like much more than 500 lbs. Has anyone else put an older Monty 17 and trailer on the scales? Sounds like it's time to upgrade my tow vehicle (ouch), mine has only 2000lbs tow capacity. How many people have added brakes to their trailer, and would that help? I am not too worried about engine power/transmission, as I almost only tow on flat land. Andrei.
