620slodat Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 What is the weight of a standard length bed for a 620?Just curious as I need to plan ahead for pulling the bed and want to choose how to do that. If three people can handle the task I have myself, my son and my daughter. Otherwise, I will need to rig up a lift of some sorts. Don 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Three is plenty. I bought a bed with several gallons in the tank. They loaded it into my flatbed 620 but I got it off and 'walked' it past the house and into the back yard. Mostly it's awkward. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 My 3 teenagers lifted a cab, minus seats, doors and fenders off a truck and walked it around. 2 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I lifted the bed off my 73 with the assistance of 1 other guy. Real easy, no hassle other than making sure it was high enough to clear the wheel arches in the frame. Currently sits on 2 wooden furniture dollies from harbor freight and gets pushed around in the shop 1 Quote Link to comment
620slodat Posted June 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Thank you all for your replies. It may be a little bit of time before I can get to this as i have a lot of projects to deal with now that the sun finally came out (garden, other plants, etc). But, you have eased my mind. I actually made a little progress yesterday. It was because I had to move the frame (now closer to the 620 that is supplying the bed) in order to access the huge pile of brush and weeds that have piled up in order to burn it.

Charlie69 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 A couple of guys can lift it off. I do it by myself with my engine hoist. Lift it off with the hoist roll the old chassis out and roll the new chassis under it. Use a tag line on it to keep the suspended bed from turning. Quote Link to comment
Turbosauce74 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Two to three person job very easily. I think my bed weighed 500~ ish Quote Link to comment
