This can be lifted with relative ease between two people. I wouldn't say it'd be much over 100kg, either that or i've been eating too many magic beans!

Cheers,
Pete.

Pete, no i haven't got any bathroom scales, they are for people who care about their weight

i managed to lift it with my brother yesterday ( still attached to the stand )

my brother is about the same size as me but a little stronger.so at a guess i'd say it was just shy of 100kg

or we're double hard b****rds

No mine is defo 227kg (only a cheap jobby,but hopefully i'll never ever use it again so wasn't worth buying a pukka one. (although in truth it has been very good and handy to spin the engine over )
