I guess I'll have to call him MR Roper now

Meet Mr. Roper
I have used this rig for several years now. I would be lost without it.
At the local tractor show, they were having a GT pull. I ran the roper over the scales and it wouldn't read... I took myself off, still no reading.
Took the bucket off and then put it on the scales without me on it.
Stunned me that This rig weighs in at 1482#.
Figure the bucket at 50# and me at 225#.... 1750 is way more than I ever dreamed it would weigh.

 

[KennyP]

Wow! That's impressive. I was surprised Alice weights in at nearly 1500 pounds with me on there.

1750 is way more than I ever dreamed it would weigh.

That does seem like a lot. Should be stable when using the loader.

 

[Texas Horses Hogs and Deeres]

Boy, that's a heavy machine. But the loader frame and hydraulic tank add a lot of weight to it.

That's a lot, I wonder what my 200 with the loader weighs in at, someday have to get it on the scales some where.

Nice looking tractor n loader. On the dream list.

You're up to 225 now? You passed me!

Let's have a beer! (Or 14)

That is definitely a heavy piece. Looking at the pic from the front the hood is tilted just like some of those looks you have given me over the years LOL.

When you removed the loader did you remove the weights. Can't get a good look at what you have hanging of the back but I would guess maybe upwards of 300 + 100 for wheel weights. Looking on the web I find a weight of 640 dry for an 18/6. Are thew tires loaded. Don

[Propane1]

Maybe a title of "Sir Roper" is in order! Alan, you've come a long way since the passed out pic. You were quite slim then! I'm only in the 190's now!

 

[KennyP]

[Texas Horses Hogs and Deeres]

So why did you leave that MH parked next to the road? Did is get stuck trying to move that rock?

Been trying to find that one a new home.
No luck yet.
