That will be an interesting statistic, Cary. I always suspected that my G0698 weighted more than what was stated in the info on the Grizzly website back 5 years ago.........I never had any way to either confirm or not, but it always seemed a bit heavier when I tried to move it around in my shop.
I do know that the cage and mount on the PM 3520b add some to the stats for it, but I do not know how much it adds.
If the manual is correct, by adding some ballast, then there will be no issues...........my G0698 was pretty stable with ballast on it, and I plan to add a better ballast system to my new G0766, than just storing wood underneath on a shelf like I had before.
