Bit of googling proves this in figures:
TM 190 weighs 14782 to 17470 pounds
TW 15 weighs 11355 to 16680 pounds
TM190 are the heavier tractor and lift far more on the links
TW 15 7,150 lbs
TM 190 17,085 lbs

don't believe all you read there's such things as ballast and weights, ours is over 9 ton on a weigh bridge, the weights on the inside of the wheels are 485 kg plus water in the tyres and a ton on the front. as for pulling and pushing never moved a boat but moved plenty of other things, TM 190s are prone to braking the gearboxs. the 65s are the biggest you want to buy as theyre the same back end in all of the 150 plus and they won't take the power. TWs can also be opened up easily...but ours is about 150... don't need an more....
