Can anyone suggest a source for used suitcase tractor weights?

You have to know the secret handshake. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Just kidding...but it seems like they are very hard to find. I don't know why, they are still making tractors. Seems like somebody would still be molding weights. I've posted on it my self before. If you find a good source, please let me know.

I have been looking for a good source of suitcase weights too - they don't necessarily have to be John Deere. Doesn't seem to be an easy thing to find.

Most states have a used 'farm equipment' junkyard/dealer. Look for several hundred acres or more of old tractors/combines/etc, just setting there rusting away. The bigger, the better. I went to one about 10 years ago and they had several huge piles of old weights. I picked up 6 ninty pound old Farmall weights pretty cheap. Worth a try.

They are difficult to find but expand your search beyond John Deere. A can of paint will make any suitcase weight the brand you need. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree Jeff...I don't care what brand or color they are. The only reason I said John Deere was because I didn't know other manufacturers made the suitcase type of weight.

Thanks for the info! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Lots of folks have made them from weights that you lift. I'm sure someone will post a pic, link.

I'd be interested but shipping to middle Tennessee would probably cost more than the weights.
