Well there ya go. With the big mower on the back and no bucket, makes a huge weight distribution difference. My buddy had the big bucket on the front and just a littler blade on the rear. He finally sold it to a guy who has a big flat pasture. He's going to be shoving around big piles of manure. The new owner was thrilled to get it, especially for cheap. I bet the new owners son is ecstatic as well! ;-)
