So been doing a lot to my 1962 case tractor to get it ready to push snow. It always seems to be gettign stuck. I just bought and installed some v bar ladder chains, but that has not help. This weekend I brough it to the bottom of my road and with the FEL loaded it would not get up the dirt road. I emptied the load and it would only get up the hill with a running start. This is actually somebody dirt driveway that a 2 wheel drive truck gets up just fine.
The case 530ck did come with a backhoe, but the previos owner removed it. The tractor did have a 55 gallon drum 3/4 filled with sand for a counter weight. I am thinking that was not enough and am building a counter weight that will be about 1400lbs. I figure the backhoe must have been 2000lbs.
Do people think weight was my issue? How much weight would be too much?
