Default Bags, Bars, or Duals... help me decide.
So, the funny thing is...

I figured I'd lower the tongue onto the ball which is is welded to the frame with 1" flat stock; just to add a little weight to the golf cart & make the picture look "realistic".

Imagine my surprise when the tongue jack left the ground, and the golf cart actually supported the entire tongue weight for about 5 seconds before I put the foot back down for the picture.

The last time I weighed it, the tongue weight was right around 1600 lbs! The cart itself weighs over 800 lbs, and I think the bed is rated for 500 lbs. payload.
