When I pull my W-6 i never seem to have near the amout of traction i need. the rear wheels have fluid in them and it has a small set of wheel weights. i was wondering if they made a larger wheel weights or if anyone had anyother ideas on how to fix my traction problem. thanks

What weight class are you pulling in. I pull my W-6 in the 6000 and 6500lb classes. Most of the time I have a hard time keeping the front end down. I have the U bar(main drawbar frame) set close to 20" so I get good pull downwards. You may want to try a higher gear if you got the power. I seem to power out most of the time in 2nd.

How much does one of your wheel weights weigh?

Do you have the tire pressure around 4 psi or abouts. This is the pressure when I pull my tractors. Andrew

I not sure what the pulling rules for your club is but for mine you can have up to 3 weights per rear wheel. Andrew

You can add more weight, but it sounds to me like you are trying to pull more than the tractor was designed for.

I'm not into pulling, so I incorrectly assumed that you were talking about farm implements.
