    Default Swallow...

    What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow ? Ok that's not really my question since everyone knows,

    "that the airspeed velocity of a (European) unladen swallow is about 24 miles per hour or 11 meters per second. "

    I would like to know if anyone knows what the towing capacity and tongue weight of the F3T is ? Thanks !

    Default F3T towing weight

    I can't see BRP changing recommended tongue and towing weight from all the other machines, which is 40/400 lbs respectively. How ever I do not know this as gospel.

    You really got me curious about this, so I took a trip to the outhouse with my slide rule and did a little number crunching.

    11 meters per second equals 0.001829404764 furlongs per fortnight. I just had nothing else to do at the moment.
