Need Suggestion on best leg press/hack squat combo

[xephonics]

I know I've seen leg press/hack squat combos in one unit before, but I cannot seem to find any now.

If anyone can give good suggestions for a single unit that does both, and is commercial grade, I'd be thankful

That is a nice link, but it does not tell me ppl's opinions on each one

I found a few, but I don't know if they are worth a damn, thats why I was hoping to find some suggestions here.

From what I have read, you cant go wrong with the YUKON line. Thats what im wanting.

I had a Tuff Stuff sled a few years ago. Great quality. Super smooth, too. If I had the room for one now, I'd be looking for another. Before I purchased it I looked at Parabody and Body Solid, too. I preferred the Tuff Stuff unit. But if a Parabody or Body Solid sled turned up for sale locally at a good price and I could fit it in my basement, I'd be very tempted.

clicked link, and I'm like "Hey, what the....Oh, haha"

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a used piece...I'd like to spend ~$500. The Body Solid one looks pretty nice at ~$900. That google search brought up a Deltech unit for $750. Don't know anything about that brand.

unfortunately, neither the tuffstuff or parabody, or bodysolid is anywhere near what I would call 'commercial grade'
tehy are light duty, 500-700lb weight limited, home gym units
I would not even bother with something like that, that my wife can max out

The only ones that handle serious weight are the upper end Yukon, The New York BB TDS super hip sled, etc...

you won't find a $500 'commercial grade' unit unless some gym (which probably does not use the combo machine) is going out of business

so maybe you need to define "commercial grade" in your eyes, because for me it means "holds as much as, or more, than I can press"

I was not the one mentioning $500 for the unit. Commercial grade in my eyes better hold ATLEAST 1500lbs, and hopefully 2k or more.

Does anyone know the quality of the TDS Mega Hip Sled? It looks nice, but pics on a website do not really tell the whole story.

Good catch ctg, I agree...those units would be sufficient for my needs/goals for some time (probably forever honestly), but definately not commercial grade...I'd assume the OP knows he's looking at spending more since he needs commercial grade

sorry didn't mean to hijack

I have the Yukon and it is very stout. 1500lb rating and it has built in weight trees.
I have bought and sold 3 of them so far. paid 500,225,100 sold 1 at 600 and 1 at 500.
I don't think you could damage this unit.

Thanks I'll check them out too, trying to get the most bang for my buck, as I'm planning on building a 20x20 workout building and I want to outfit it with really good equip.

I got the joke/sarcasm, but as I said, it does not give me the opinions of real users.

My mistake, didn't realize the OP wanted a true "commercial grade" unit.

The limit on the Parabody (no longer in production; craigslist is the only option) is 1200 pounds, if loaded with 100's, and 900 pounds, if loaded with 45's.

Here's a pic of mine, loaded with 940; 4-100's, and 12-45's. (I only have 4- 100's)




This is as much as I can load, unless I get more 100's. Even at this weight, the machine is solid and smooth-operating, and it's about 10 years old.
