Just a suggestion from somebody who has been running machinery for 45 years, your rear weight ballast you are raising it too high keep the wait as low as possible when you’re running the tractor by doing this you are keeping the majority of the weight at a lower center of gravity
When you install the second set of weights you could put the new longer carriage bolts through the rim, tighten a nut down on the first weight in all four mounting holes, then put your next weight on the carriage bolts and tighten it down with another set of nuts. That would definitely make it easier to install in my opinion however you would have to find a wrench you could fit inside the rim as I don’t think you could find a socket deep enough for the length of bolts you plan on using. Just an idea.... great work on the videos! You have an awesome setup!
@@stuntcardriver my land has alot of hilly pasture. 16 degree incline in places. do u suggest anything other than Rim Guard, wheel weights and wheel spacers when bushhogging?
@@adamaustin3373 I'm not sure there is anything else you can add. You might need to experiment with some different options. You may need to hang some weight off the front.

Somebody’s been working out and it shows.

Does 120 pounds make that much difference, or should you add 2 sets per wheel? Did it accomplish stabilizing your tractor?
It helps to offset just having a loader. If you are using the loader, you will need the tires filled and rear ballast on the 3 point.
Thanks for the video. What's the part number for the weight itself?
BM17965
Just fill your tires with windshield wash and be done. Nice tractor. Kent
do you have fluid in your tires also?
Yes. Rim guard. Also 320 lbs on the 3 point.
