I've only heard of one 35# sledge EVER. I haven't seen it, so it may just be a fish 
story (or a custom-made item). 20# ers are pretty common, but must generally be 
special ordered. I also got the question, "you got some kinda giant to run this 
thing?" When I asked about the 20#er's availability.

20 and 35 pounds sledges? Wow. It might be a lifetime
or so before I'm up for one of these, but just out of
curiousity, where do you get them? Some special farm
supply place? I haven't seen anything heavier than 16.

Good luck with the strongman competition. Now that
would be a great ad for shovelglove.
