This is heavy piece of equipment...if I didn't have "brakes" on the front of my BD, it would be pointing around 35-40 degrees down towards the ground/floor, as is it's around 10-15, but my beater is hitting the middle of the head, but like I said my 20? is suspended between the two "systems"!!! The front is about 3/4" off the floor where as the back end is about 2" off the floor, just a tad high for my likein' and there's an inch or more to give I have it as low as possible...
