[AT] What does a Cub weigh?

[Bob Seith]

Thanks, George!

Looks like I have two choices -- a pair of seven-footers rated at 3,000 
pounds or a pair of five-footers rated at 5,000 pounds. I need to go 
home and measure just how far it is from the threshold of the barn doors 
to the trellis with the wisteria vine. Wouldn't want to run into the 
trellis when backing out the tractor.

Or would I? Maybe this is the opportunity to get rid of the #$%& thing. 
I've been trying to simplify my life.
