Anyone using Ariens weight kit?
Original Message   Dec 28, 2010 12:42 pm
I've read some older posts where some using a weight bar believe the 10 lb. plate in the kit isn't heavy enough and that these units need at least 20 lbs.

Comments?

20 lbs at least, more if you have a cab in the back.

I am using a weight kit on my 1128dle and it make a difference. Also you can stack them.  Or just make a template from a 2x4 or what ever size you want and go to a metal fab place and have them make you whatever size and weight you want.  Paint it up and mount it.
