It's 22.25 lbs. as shown. It's missing chains, obviously, and some brackets and fasteners required for mounting the gearboxes. It'll probably hit 28-30 lbs. with those things and with an ABS base for control system components.

We had some trouble shifting the DeWalt gearboxes with a single servo last season, so we've been thinking about adding the second to each. We haven't tried it yet.
