how much weight is too much?

i'm 6'2" 237lbs. how much weight is too much to get a sulky/velke for a belt drive mower with a 15hp engine?

 

YOU WEIGH TOOOOO MUCH!!!!

no, I'm just messin' with you, I've heard of some guys in the upper 250-260's riding around

 

Im 6'3 and I weight 225. Havent had any problems yet.

 

do you notice any strain on the engine or anything? what are you using? proslide, 1 wheel, 2 wheel???? thanks.

 

Belt drive? No way would I run a sulky on a belt drive 15 hp. To many hills around me for that. I think any hydro with 15 hp or more could handle it though.

I am 6'3" and 270 lbs. I have a 17hp Kaw on a hydro that handles me and a 2-wheel sulky just fine.

 

CuttingCrew, your 36 metro could handle a sulky and it would be much more productive.

Unless every lawn you have has steep hills.

 

When i still was going out into the field,sulky's and walkbehind's didnt work to well for me.

 

I'm running a 13HP Kaw on a single hydro with a 2 wheel sulky. No problem even up hill. Oh, I'm just over 200 lbs.

 

I'm 6'1 and 290lbs. and i run a 17hp Kaw w/ proslide and i havent had any problems.
