The machine weighs 80 pounds.
I don't have a conclusive answer about adding a weight, because it hasn't been tested yet. But I think that you should probably be able to add the 46 pound Koblenz weight without a problem with the motor. The Leeson motor is a strong motor. I think it may bog a bit if you were to use it on a cushy residential carpet with padding, but you really shouldn't need a weight for residential carpet. On a flat CGD caret, I think it should probably run OK though. We'll have to do some testing to find out for sure.
