That's just over a ton I figured around the Ton to a ton and a half , those Myco,s are top draw I believe and very well Built ,
This Target looks very well made too very little surface rust and towes well too , no longer in business I believe

Is the trailer made from C Channel or tubing?
Steel shapes/sizes all have weight specs per lineal ft length.
C Channel is the easiest to confirm.
Measure/estimate the total lineal length of all steel pieces and do the math. Add thr 3 axles and wheels estimates and the bunks/hitch...you'll get into an accurate ball park of the net trailer weight.
