That sprayer rack weighs maybe 35-40 lbs, so the tractor itself is 700 lbs + or -, including wheel weights.

When I plow snow, I put 200 lbs of iron on the rack plus my ample butt in the seat, so all together it has to be well over 1000 lbs. It still spins the wheels, even with chains on, when it gets a big pile of snow in front of it. Don't let anybody ever tell you that those hydro units aren't rugged.
yep that sounds a lot more accurate, tractordata has the wrong weight for that too https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tra...imensions.html
