It weighs 100 pounds and isn't particularly loud. I tried it once to see how it was supposed to work. I didn't see any advantage over other machines and I much prefer being able to change the difficulty.

To be fair, it's a new acquisition and I don't spend hours in the weight room, so it might be very popular with other folks. To me, it just looks silly.

This is the kind of thing you use outdoors in a field when you don't have anything else at your disposal. It's big and heavy and moving it around is a workout, just like a lot of other physical labor. I recently dug a drainage ditch across my 100% solid clay yard (after you get past the 3" of topsoil) and I felt that one the next day, lol.
