I would guess 350-400 pounds. Not sure exactly, just know 3 strong guys can pick one off the frame.

2 high school football players (my neighbors) each grabbed a fender well twards the front and lifted mine off for me. Carried it about 20ft and set it on some trunk logs for me.

Since then I've had to move it twice and had to get 3 of us elderly folks to move it. Youngins' these days....

I want to build a flatbed for my highboy but my skyjacker leaves don't carry nearly as much as my old 9 pack leaves did. I was told a 20ft stick of 2x4 .120 wall weighs 98 pounds, figure I'd use about 50 ft plus wood, mounts, and headache rack. I'd say about 450-500lbs for a flatbed.

My 7.5' x 9.5 flat deck can't be more than 300 lbs. I can pick up either end and move it myself and whether I like it or not I'm gimped. Unless it's Douglas fir, wood is pretty light.
