Soooo, maybe I exaggerated the total weight by 20-30%.

I think the margin may be a little higher than 20-30%.
Just trying to keep it real for those who are looking for concrete answers.

A 240' trench that is 12" wide by 12" deep should have produced just slightly over 250,000 pounds of earth. I don't see anything that is even close to those dimensions in the pics.

No, I'm not.
People come to this forum looking for answers to their questions. They want to make informed decisions. If we don't give them answers based on fact, we are doing an injustice. Remember, they are likely taking everything we say as fact. They are, as we once were, in the exploratory phase of building. They just want the facts to be able to make an informed decision.

All of them, or just the ones in this thread?
Now that is the definition of sarcasm...

The point of this thread, if I understand, is to showcase what your cart can do. I have pics that show what looks to be my cart hitched to my 12000 pound 5th wheel RV. Do you really think it would be fair for me to try to say it could tow that thing? Let's be realistic and remember that members will be finding this thread while searching, and think everything is factual, unless we tell them it isn't.
