Mini Skid Counter Weights

[dmorse68]

I know nothing about them and wondering where do they actually bolt on, how much can I expect them to cost, and what do they look like?

Can tell you they help a lot and do work besides that can't help anymore.

Still trying to figure out how much they cost and if the can bolt on the 752. Dealer said the factory doesn't offer them on that model however they offer them on the 850. But Tread Lightly had a good point...the 752 is the same body & platform as the 850. Before I buy them, can anyone tell me (or show me via pictures) what they look like and how and where they bolt to?

You could go to the dealer and look at an 850. Look for the mounting holes, or maybe they have one with weights in stock.
Or even better give your sales guy a call and say you want a picture of the counterweights and mounting before you buy the new 850. Lol

How much are they charging for the weights? You can get plate cut at your local metal shop to your specifications for less, I'd bet.

How might counterweights be a disadvantage to longevity, etc?

 

[Lumberjack]

Longevity has to be weighed against the profit/benefits of productivity.... within reason, I wouldn't be concerned.

I agree
