Does anybody have a price list or similar document that would show the weight of a 74 row unit? I have an owner's manual and the only thing I can find in it related to weight is that the hoppers hold approximately 75 lbs. of seed.

1981 price list shows 225 lbs for complete unit with mounting hardware for 3-1/2" bar and press wheel, and and 171 lbs for unit without mountings or press wheel.

Was that for a unit or a pair ? i don't think I can pick up 225 #'s but I do remember being carful not to pinch a finger and lift a unit by the front cross member an at the depth control strap w/o hopper for a moment to install the v bolts.... two people could easily load a unit.... maybe I was stronger 50 years ago than I thought...
