Hi all,
The operator manual ( p.49) for the 7040 says the CI disk is 158 kg X 2 or 700 lbs (for 2) -- 350 lbs /disk. The rear wheel weights are 320 lbs for 2. So If I'm figuring right, you can add 1020 pounds with both the CI centers and wheel weights. You can add about 700 lbs/tire with fluid in a 16.9 X 28 tire ... so bottom line is:
CI disks 700
wheel weights 320
fluid 1400
Total 2420
I like the CI wheels... and have them, but the difference in weight is easily compensated with the fluid. That fluid might go up a smidge with Beet juice instead of Calcium. I chose it because the calcium is so corrosive...course if you never get a leak it is not a problem I guess... but i always search out a thorn tree...or it seaches me out.
