I'm looking at buying a nice 312BL I was curious to see what the difference in weight is VS the 312B. As far as I can find online it shows the L being 600 LBS heavier. When looking at the machines it sure as heck looks like it would be quite a bit heavier. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

The L models have an extra roller and a couple of extra links and pads in each track chain. That's the only difference that I know of.
