Lynda,
It depends how wide the kitchen door is. Take the door width and multiply
by 3 for circumference. If you have a 30 inch door, I would guess a 250 to 300
pounder , depending on the shape. A 36 inch door might yield a 350 to 400
pounder. If I were you, I would take out the kitchen door right now, and put
in a 6 foot sliding glass door. This should allow a thousand pounder if the
floor doesn't cave in. A troybilt rototiller would roll in easily. My 8N Ford
Tractor would make it through. Many manure spreaders are less than 6 feet
wide. The key to the whole thing is to get that 6 foot door. Time's a wastin'
.
