TWs can also be opened up easily...but ours is about 150... don't need an more....

Yes you can weight up any tractor, including a TM. The base tractor however starts off heavier that was my point.
We have used TM 190's in anger lots of times with no problems, must depend who is using them.
I'd stick to the TM190.
In all honesty though, most engines will be shunted by a telehandler as per my original post, so this TW TM discussion is not really relevant here.
