Hi!
We have a Long 2310 tractor: TractorData.com Long 231 tractor information While the disc or bush hog attachment is on it, it doesn't want to steer properly and the tires tend to dig the grass and dirt up (it basically makes mini ditches). We took it to a local heavy equipment shop that works on just about anything but their specialty is Deere. The guy there suggested two things: 1) new front tires (one tire has a little wear on it) 2) a weight ballast box for the front of the tractor. We had tried putting concrete and bricks into a wooden box attached to the front of the tractor but this guy said we would need 300 to 400 lbs. Has anyone had any success with DIY ballast? Would appreciate any thoughts or ideas you have on this.
Thanks!
