In Reply to: Tire Ballast Weight posted by Rein_Quest on February 14, 2018 at 09:25:50:
Another alternative to consider is wheel weights. There should be weights available for all applications if one looks long and hard enough. If the weight is needed for a front end loader application my preference would be rear wheel weights AND a barrel on the three point that one can fill with ballast of your choice, ranging all the way from steel to filled with concrete. The filled counter-weight barrel is much more effective from a weight transfer as the weight is behind the rear axle. That is simply a matter of physics and leverage. If you use a counter weight barrel on the three point put your draw bar that goes through the lower link balls through the front 1/4 to 1/3 of the barrel. In my case it allows the standard draw bar of the tractor to remain in the full out position. Plus that extra distance further back gives more leverage as it is farther back from the rear axle. If I knew how to attach pictures I would attach one of my tractor with loader, 3 sets of rear wheel weights, no fluid in the rear tires, and a concrete barrel weighing in excess of 1,000 pounds.
