Do you know the M #? If you do you could search for the TM and find the specs for it.

Head and body, 8 to 9 ft (2.4 to 2.7 m); Tail 2 to 3.3 ft (60 to 100 cm)
Weight:
1,500 to 2,650 lbs (700 to 1,200 kg)

Did you know?
The domesticated water buffalo is often referred to as the “living tractor of the East,” as it is relied upon for plowing and transportation in many parts of Asia.

Water weighs about 8 lbs. a gallon. Gets heavy fast when you fill it.

Did you know?
The two wheeled "walking tractors" were used by the South Korean farmers in place of the four legged water buffalos. We called them "One Eyed Water Buffalos" or RPAVS (Rice Patty Assault Vehicles).

Sorry GE.....I can't resize the photo.

When I was stationed in Korea the first time the small post I was on (Camp Colburn) actually had an RPAV for groundskeeping duties.
I was the Battalion Commander's driver and as an additional duty I was a Drivers Trainer and gave road tests to new soldiers.
I told the head civilian in charge of Installation Maintainence that I wanted to drive the RPAV and get licensed on it. He gave me a block of instruction on it and we went for a ride with me at the wheel (well actually the handlebars). He signed off on my Military Driving Record (DA Form 348 ) and it was notated on there as "Garden Tractor".
After that if I got bored I would jump on the RPAV (the Korean workers took great delight in hiding it from me) and ride all over post.
One time the Colonel needed me to run him into Seoul and stuck his head out the door to call me.....he saw me hauling azz on the RPAV and just shook his head.
He later told me "Sgt. Evans.....you're the only driver I ever had that is road qualified on the RPAV".
I have a photo of me on the beast but it is not in digits....maybe I can get my archives scanned in and show some cool photos.

Is it a male or a female? Usually the males weigh more.

You can calculate the water for approx 8lb / gallon, or you can figure it out exactly if you change it from gallons to cubic feet. Then multiply that value by 62.4 lb/ ft^3 and you'll know how much weight is added when you fill it with water.

1 gallon = 0.1336806 ft^3
