My SIL got his hands on some weights from a fork lift his company was scraping out and thought they would make good weights for the 1025R since I had mentioned how squirrelly it got on slopes. I think it turned out alright, using 4 of the 5 he got for a total of 580 lbs. so with the added metal for the hitch I am calling it 600 ish.

I have not tried it out yet but it should make a major change (hope so anyway). The welds aren't much to look at but for a man with tremors they are good enough to hold, which is all that matters to me.
