Default NH Wheel Weights .

The manual States only use 2 weights per wheel , each weight weighing 107 lbs.

I see that PineRidge has put 3 weights on each wheel. New Holland only wants 2 weights per wheel, to reduce Stress on the Wheel/Axle Bearings.

Question to PineRidge,

Are the 3 weights on each wheel ALL the time?

If so, How long have you run the Weights ?

Have you noticed any problems from the Extra Weight?

I would think that an extra 100 lbs on each wheel , would be a lot less stress than a 900 lb weight bar on the 3PH along with the Weight of the Tractor.




Thanks

Default Re: NH Wheel Weights .

The dealer set the tractor up with 3 wheel weights on each side and the 3 point weight rack. However I really don't think these weights are much more than 80 pounds each, either that or I'm getting stronger moving them around.

The wheel weights are mounted 90% of the time, and have been on since the tractor was new in 2003. Haven't had any axle problems yet.

Default Re: NH Wheel Weights .

I have question for PineRidge about adding wheel weights to a NH tractor. I believe you had a link to a picture or picture of something that was put on a floor jack to lift and position them so they could be bolted on the wheels. Is that correct? I would appreciate if you could provide that link or info since I can't find it now.

I would like to put a set on weights on each of the rear wheels on a TC-45D.

Thanks.

This is a standard floor jack. The lift pad was removed (simply lifted off) and the welded solid steel rod substituted. It makes easy work of installing/removing weights and the floor jack will revert back to stock as well.

Mike,
I miss your Web site with all your projects. It was a reference point for me. Any chance of bringing it back?

Barry I'm not sure why the material was deleted unless there was some problem with the sever itself. Guess that's a problem when you don't host your own material.

When I get a bit more time from my contractor job the material will be re-posted.
