I think you'll find that a 10 kg weight will do the trick, if you
cantilever it maybe fifteen feet to the right of the main body of the
vehicle.  You can use a rack-and-pinion mechanism for fine-tuning.  It may
be wise to rig an agricultural mower mechanism along the front of this
device, driven hydraulically from the power steering pump -- in that case a
similar weight will probably be necessary extending to the left of the van.
