What's its guesstimate weight before mods?

Any way to implement a cell phone vibrator?

A vibrating mechanism will work better because the emence weight on a water or sand filled unit could cause the machine to sink in loose ground and the machine will get stuck. Not to mention the sand could eat up the bearings or gearing if it makes contact with them which can cause other expensive problems.
Water could work, but it may rust the metal and leaks could turn the soil under the machine into mud. Combine this with the weight and you are stuck again. And the grease may not function properly if water hits it.
