The key for me is the ballast box filled with rocks. It is a beast! I agree stevebo. With a two stage, rear ballast is a must. I added 140 pounds out back and 140 pounds of wheel weights. In addition, my 250 lbs was in the butt bucket. Worked perfectly with my 520H and two stage. Steering is nice and I have decent traction with my rubber chains. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
