How wide is your mini bota? What loader capacities are you striving for?

It is about 26" wide, not looking to lift much, more to use as asnow plough/bucket for moving gravel and sand maybe 50 kg payload in the bucket. The main use will be grass cutting, but it will be usefull for the veg plot and garden maintainance im sure!
Towed a 1.5 ton car out of my garage today and nothing broke :thumbsup:
wheelspin was the only problem, and that is with my fat arse on the back!

Are you serious dude, that thing is awesome. I just noticed the rear differential. That's a pretty big pumpkin. What did it come off of, and how did you mod it to work?
