My GF 1800 lifts my mower with no problem. The snowblower that I just got weighs around 200 lbs . It will lift it but barely and the engine has to be rev'd up. Then I recently bought a B2160 front blade. It's pretty well built . Could not find out how much it actually weighs after searching endlessly on the net. It does not budge it. Now I am waiting for some shims to try and beef up the pressure on my hydraulic system. Anyone have an idea what that blade weighs.
