[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 87832, member: 3290"] Each of mine weight about 80 - 100 lbs. Not much you can do to make them much lighter. Because they are so close into the machine, this weight does not have as much effect. This is the one that I used: [URL]http://www.skidsteersolutions.com/mini-skid-steer-attachments/adapters/bobcat-mt-adapters/eterra-thomas-t85-to-bobcat-mt-50-52-55-463-adapter/[/URL] Same price and much less fabrication required to make it fit. The adapter plate that makes it fit the Thomas machine is a separate piece that bolts on, so you simply don't use it. One other thing that I did was to bolt about 200 lbs of counterweight to the rear door. This increases your lifting power quite dramatically. If I am operating on any up hill grades, I typically drop off one of my 100 lb weights.
