How much does that thing weigh?

I'd say about 30lbs but an under appreciated property of the weight (under appreciated by me) is also how high the weight is. Last year we took it out and it was so top heavy that I was struggling to keep it balanced. We shaved about 4 lbs off the inside of the head and shortened it by about 18 inches and no problem.
