And have fun doing it!!! :)

If I had to take an educated guess, I would say I had about 150-250lbs on the rack and probably about 500lbs in the wagon. That wood was NOT light at all. I would say the big blocks on the rack were at least 30lbs maybe up to 50lbs each. And I had 9 blocks that size in the wagon under the smaller stuff to fill in the gaps. What a great little workhorse!!

NICE, have that same setup only the trailer isn't as nice,, I haul rock in it for landscaping around my property. Still think the 84 pulls better then the 85 as I have both, guessing because of the solid tail...

Solid tail and I'm thinking that even though the 250 BR had a little more HP, I think the low range sub tranny on the 200 might just get it to the ground a little better??

Believe it or not, the spec tag on thet JD wagon states it is rated for a little over 1000lbs payload! I would never guess that looking at it..

I would post the pic my wife took of me after I started down the trail to put in perspective the size of those blocks compared to me on the seat, but I wasn't wearing a helmet and it's against site rules. I know I know helmet no matter what, but seriously I was going about as fast as a Farmall A in 2nd gear.. LOL!

30 pound rating on the rack? Pshht! It's a Honda! I use mine for all my yard work, and it always pulls the load for me.

I was doing yard work for my mom and I had 6 50lb fertilizer bags plus my 225lb self on my 83 185s and it pulled like a champ!
