I own a Ford 2600 tractor. I am wanting to put some wheel weights on it to help on traction. I would need them for plowing and snow removal. It does not have a front end loader but I'm wanting to put one on in the future. How much weight do I need. I got prices for 115 pound weights. Would one or two on each tire be enough? Would I need any in front even though I'm going to get a loader within the next two years?

If you are going to be putting a front loader on your 2600 you might want to consider a lot of weight on the rear. Walts Tractors dot com has them for your tractor. UF81450 pie type, 22 pieces @ 1100 lbs, UF81460 6 piece inside the wheel, 450 lbs and UF81470 6 piece inside the wheel @582 lbs. I have a Ford 8N (wagner loader) the inside the wheel type (Unknown Orgin) + clacium fill. With chains this is a snow moving, log dragging combination in North Idaho.

My self I like to fill the tires with fluid, but with that said. Filled tires run around 500lbs each so to get as much from weights you would need 3 plus. The tractor I have with fluid is an 801 ford with a heavy duty loader and even with filled tires I have a heavy back blade on it and 6 suitcase weights on it and at times that is still not enough.

i'm willing to bet two sets (two to a tire) would plenty. if you get to much weight on there it just amkes it harder to pull out when it's stuck 8>)
