John Deere 4440 front and back weights ?

andy r · Feb 22, 2019

I bought a John Deere 4440 with no weights on the front or back. It primarily will pull a six row no-till planter and a eleven row 15" bean planter. The eleven row bean planter actually has a significant negative tongue weight when raised. Mostly no-till but once in awhile on a rare occasion it might hook on to a 20 foot disk, 24 foot field cultivator, or a 12 foot chisel plow. How many weights up front are typical for this kind of work? How many weights should be on the rear wheels? How much do the front suitcase weight brackets sell for? What do the suitcase weights typically sell for? How much are the rear weights worth? Lastly are there typical part numbers for the suitcase and rear wheel weights I should be looking for? Thanks everyone.

Shouldn't need any front weights with only six rows behind you. We always got along fine with a 2755 and a four/seven row no til planter.

Front weights are usually a 'buck a pound'. Late JD wts,more. I just watched a pile of 4 Jd wheel wts sell for $300 at auction.

Rear wheel weights and front weights 1.00$ a pound

If the rear tires are loaded and all implements are pulled mot mounted you should be fine. The negative weight planter you might need to caution on the slower side till you try it out. I know our Great Plains Drill on coulter cart pulls empty ok with a 674 just to transport empty. I would not want anything lighter nor have it filled to do that.
