Does anyone know how much a front loader including bucket and mountings etc is likely to weigh? I know theres different types but they all must be roughly the same??

I don't know the exact weights but all the parts are "man handle-able". Two of us have lifted the boom onto a truck. These were SteelFab-Horndraulic who made the loader for Ford. Together all the parts weghted about 5-6cwt.

That means also 250- 300 kgs?

Horndraulic arms alone can be walked upright by two old buffs - heavy but not crippling. :wink:
All the best,

Sorry, yes you are about right with the weight, it should be around 350kg.
