I agree they are heavy, H.L., and will be watching it carefully
until I see how it goes. My D-12 also has a depth adjustment lever to keep
heavy equipment from going too deep so I can use that instead of the float
position. Every time I get something new to me it is a learning experience.
I have a heavy duty PTO on the 420 crawler if things get too far out of
hand. grins.
