2-78 weight

Could anyone tell me what a 2-78 loader backhoe would weigh. Need to haul one and am guessing it at about 16000 to 18000.

The 2-78/4-78 brochure I have says 15,300 for the gas and 15,400 for the diesel 2-78 model with the 17 foot hoe. This weight includes an 84" loader bucket and 24" hoe bucket. Doesn't say if this includes a full set of front weights. Also says shipping weight so I assume no ballast in these numbers. I think dads 4-78 with the full set of front weights adds another 1,000lbs and the FWA adds another 1,000, don't know what the ballast adds. In any event, his 4-78 is all that my tandem axle gooseneck wants, let alone how the truck feels about it.
