Dunno Pater. I just found its a KH230, completely brainless. I haven't seen it setup for use in a couple years so memory is faint, but my guess is probably at least a small red wagon load. IOW a more major project than it would be with a KH930 or KH940. I don't have enough years left to do that. :( Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
