Awesome to see in operation. Very nice set-up. Do you find the rotary mower effective as ballast?

Love my forks too, but think mine aree too heavy for my machine. What kind do you have?

I got a set of forks w/ top & bottom bars off Ebay to make my own. If I remember right, the forks & bars cost me $229, including shipping. A seller called "atvxpress" Very handy to have around, including in the timber. ~~ grnspot110

My rear mower weighs about 675 lbs and makes a good counterbalance for the forks.

"Wow, lots of wheel weights on your rig, how much is that? "

I believe they are 60 lbs each, so that totals to 360 lbs, and is the maximum recommended by JD for this machine.
