Medium tow bar weight?

[PowerstrokeNC]

Anybody know what this item weighs roughly? I do know it is 84" long, or at least thats what GL says...

GL has it at 1200# but that can't be right, any help would be appreciated, thanks

I don't think those are mediums, which weigh about 150lbs.

That may be an m113 bar which would be more like 180lbs.

Weight is of an average person, ~150#

Heavy towbar doesn't weight over 400#, gl doesn't know what they are talking about half the time.

400 # is about right for one heavy in-the-box, sure you didn't win three?

Those aren't the heavies. The foot end of the bar is made different on the heavies. What he won looks like my m113 bars(pictured above).

That is a Med-heavy bar. Weight is around 180-190 lbs with feet, not including the box or any other accompanying items or extra feet.

lol, this made me go back and check, but no only one.

Thanks for all the input, it was helpful in figuring out a shipping plan...

Mediums are manageable by one person, but they are heavy.

Heavies, large. Etc are not.

Better have a few good friends or something to assist with any of them.

These are good at towing MVs, but I think their original, design was to pinch tear, crush, and remove flesh from people.

If you fight one, you will lose.

Be careful.

WAY more manageable in pieces! Leave the feet off, separate the two bars and one person can handle it.

What will said

Or hit the gym and you shouldn't have any issue with any size tow bar

 

[Choppers]

5782, best idea yet.

I`ll start going.

Tomorrow.

Alot, but a single reasonably fit person can handle a medium. I've used mine a few times to tow deuces with deuces and 5 tons.

You do not even need to pick the towbar up to use it really. If its bed mounted just lower the tailgate. back up to the disabled truck. slide the towbar out so that only the feet are on the disabled truck. Put the pins in and fold the tow bar up and onto the hood of the disabled truck. Pull forward and close your tailgate... back up to the truck. Lower the towbar to the ground. Get centered and use a chain thru the tailgate straps up and under the towbar to hold it up level. then back into it. Some folks cut a piece of 4x4 so that is the right height to hold the towbar up level with the pintle. but basically you do not have to lift it... To reload the towbar just fold it up back up drop the tailgate and unhook.
