Right now it's around 800# if I remember correctly.

I intend on adding on a few hundred pounds.

Very nicely done!

Nice job! How does it look on the green machine?

A friend of mine has some RR track I need to cut up and weld on, and maybe add a chain basket.

I had thought about repainting it green, but I may just keep it orange. Right now you can spot it a mile away. That's good, because I misplace things all the time :confused3:

Thank you, for the compliments.

Maybe I should paint on some flames.:laughing:

Flames would be cool! I don't really care what color the implements are as long as they are painted.

I use a 55 gallon barrel I made up years ago. 10 - 80 lb bags of ready mix and about 50 lbs of steel framing inside the barrel. I figure it's at least 850 lbs. It's narrow enough to go through the woods without getting hung up on trees.

Here's what I use,I just took an old bait barrel and beefed it up with some rolled 11Ga and a drawbar. I bolted two pieces of hotrolled to the drawbar for the top link, and simply filled it with sand. I figure 300 to 400 Lbs. It has helped greatly plowing snow.I only have three hrs into it and about $35 for parts.

That poor front axle. Not to mention that loader frame with all that weight on one side.

Why didn't they hook the chain shorter?

Not me, it was sarcasm of a video I found on YouTube.
