The Jonny Bucket web site says 2-3 weeks for delivery that will be like an eternity. I'm now considering new boots or at least a good set of chains to help with traction. I'm sure I'll have to fill the rear tires now also.

Congrats. I love mine. You are going to have to add some weight. The JB weighs about 150 lbs and sticks out a couple of feet giving it a bit of leverage. I weigh 250 lbs and lost traction a lot after adding the JB. It was also a bit top heavy with the bucket up and loaded. The Cub would tip onto two wheels when I tried to get off.
I added 12 gallons of RV antifreeze to the rear tires and it helped a lot. Also added two 55lb wheel weights from Sears. Last weekend I added a sleeve hitch and a Brinly box scraper. It is pretty well balanced now. Looking forward to playing in the dirt this weekend.
The JB is easy to install. Mine fit perfectly. The hardest part was figuring out how to run the wires. I can post a few pics if you would like.
