Simpleton7016 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Has anyone (perhaps Simplicity themselves) reported how much each of their products weighs? I want to get some estimates on shipping a MacKissic shredder. One thing I know is that the effer is heavy! Real heavy.... and awkward. If I heave it up on the family bathroom scale, my wife will go ballistic and I will resemble John Bobbit in very short time!!
Roy Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 E-mail Mackissic and ask them. They have an excellent customer service department.
Simpleton7016 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Good idea! Then I will start compiling a list of weights for various attachments. We can put it in the Tech Tips section and it will serve as my crowning achievment.
Mack Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I belive most of the tractors and implement shipping weights are listed on the SimpltrACtors site. Look for the price lists in the Simplicity section. http://www.simpletractors.com/simplicity/price_lists.htm
Brettw Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Personally, the weight of the attachment, tractor fanatic or not, would not be important enough to end up sans very important body parts. I would simply say, "boy this is heavy!" and leave it at that. All that being said, when I think back of the times I risked my own manhood (melted Tupperware, blown up stainless steel bowl (don't ask) miscellaneous alternate uses for kitchen tools, I can only cringe and smile all at the same time. Ahhhhhhh such fond memories..........:D
Simpleton7016 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Roy was correct...great service. See below: Dear Mr. Heckers, I referred your e-mail to our service tech. The weight of the unit was 135# and was built from 1964 to 1984. Your unit appears to have been built around 1968-1969. Regards, Sharon Christman MacKissic, Inc.
Roy Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Yes!!!!!!!! Sharon Christman is excellent to deal with. dOddOd
