I just took delivery of a 2008 DK45SE HST, with the loader. During checkout we played with my gravel pile. A bucket full of roadbase almost lifted the rear end off the ground. Seems a bit lite back there given the weight of the whole tractor.... I wouldn't have guessed a bucket of road base should be that noticeable.
The question? If I fill the rear tires, is this going to be anywhere near enough rear ballast for gravel and road base work? I plan to take the tractor in and have the tires filled asap unless the pros think it is not nearly enough and I should just build a ballast box for the rear. Anyone with experience like this care to comment here?
Thanks.... profile and pics will come a bit later, by the way. I do appreciate this forum, I've been reading it for months.
