For a typical five axle unit, the interstate gross weight limit is 80,000 lbs. Factoring in the tare (empty) weight of the truck and trailer, they can typically carry between 44,000 and 50,000 lbs. of cargo before they hit that weight limit, all things dependent.
48000 lbs
A typical tractor trailer unit, with a total of five axles, can typically carry between 23 and 25 tons legally, dependent on the tare weight of the tractor and trailer. The legal interstate gross weight rating for such a setup is 80,000 lbs.
Maximum allowable weight by law is 80,000 lbs. The average weight of tractor and dry van combined empty weight is approximately 30,000 lbs. So, 50,000 lbs or less is the average load.
Gross weight or loaded weight is 80,000 lbs. Empty weight differs greatly depending on different tractor and trailer configurations but is around 36,000 lbs for a tractor and dry van trailer
A Farmall M tractor weighs just over 5000 lbs.
John Deere says that the tractor has a weight of 965 lbs. I found this on the their website.
Empty around 35,000 lbs

48,000 lbs of payload, or 48,000 lbs gross weight (vehicle + payload)? For 48,000 lbs. of payload, some five axle combinations can haul that legally, although that is cutting it a bit close. We're talking a fairly short wheelbase tractor, and aluminum flatbed with ten foot spread axle (spread axles can have a total of 40,000 lbs, vs. 34,000 lbs for tandem axles). If it pushes your total vehicle weight over 80,000 lbs, then you'll need an oversize permit, even with a five axle setup. As for 48,000 gross vehicle weight, any tandem axle straight truck would do.
It depends on number of axles , equipment carried single axle could be up to 48000 lbs tandem could be up to 80000lbs
111-114 ft lbs
