Had a friend over last night after doing some mowing with the rear mower. When I do this, I remove the FEL to make it easier to see what I'm about to destroy. However, this makes the front end a tad light, and I notice (especially on slopes) that the front tires are not "grabbing" very well.
The problem being that the subframe for the FEL makes it impossible to attach the standard front weights, which would (probably) help this situation out a lot. My friend suggested that I fill the fronts. However, I've read several people here that have advised that this is a "bad idea".
So I have (at least /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif) a couple of choices: 1. Fill the front tires (they are R4 BTW), 2. Build a special bracket to hold front weights, 3. Do both 1 & 2 (see, said there were at least 2 /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif), 4. Your suggestion?
