Default TractorData has inaccurate weights

http://www.tractordata.com/lawn-trac...imensions.html
this is the J0hn D33re La140 lawn tractor's weight- 524 pounds
https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tra...imensions.html
this is the Cub Cadet 800 garden tractor's weight- 585 pounds

Please don't tell me that an IH Cub Cadet weighs only 61 pounds more than a Lowes big box lawn mower...

Spec sheet does not show 800 weight but 1000 is 745.
Only difference is the engine (K181 vs. K241)

Thanks for the info everyone. I still don't believe a quality garden tractor weighs just a bit more than a lawn mower from Lowes. As far as the narrow frames go, they would be lighter because of the smaller frame. I still believe in heavy duty garden tractors that are around 800-900 pounds. I don't think IH made "light duty" stuff. I can't even believe that an 800 would weigh 580 pounds... Most likely 780 pounds.

Also the 782 couldn't possibly be 680 pounds. That is like the peak of Cub Cadet tractors, it would be more like 850-875 pounds. This thread backs my facts up, https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ead.php?t=1366 so the 782 is like a 1050 pounds tractor with a deck on it. That makes me actually feel proud of my machinery, not sigh and think that it is a light duty Lowes lawn mower.

One more thing, is "shipping weight" more or less than actual operating weight? Does shipping weight mean the tractor with no engine?

Once again, from IH Spec sheets.....
Shipping weight = no attachments, no battery, no fluids!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
