the bucket should be able to hold a max of 200lbs
and i dont think it would need counter weights on the back if im on it, cause im 302
....but im trying to think of a lift for the rear to lift the bush hog thing im working on

with my bolens, i could rig up a hydraulic pump. i have the space, pullys and levers already existing. it would be a matter of finding a place to stick the resivour, pump and the controls. if you wanted to, could you run a pump off the PTO or did you nix that?
