Does Kubota offer front weights for ZD12/11 / ZD1511 ?

[Brown Dog]

I might try that. Do the weights “clang” a lot? Any drawbacks?

Wonder if they hasten the demise of the front axle pivot bearing?

Definitely have to remove weights to clean deck???

Zoom in on the set screw bolt that locks weights down tight with jamb nut.

There is also a 3/4 pin all the way thru the weights & bracket at the bottom.

The weight is on the axle & tires : NOT the machine.
No extra weight on the axle pivot bearings.

The same as fluid filled tires.

The axle will still pivot up to raise machine.

No need to remove weights.

No clang or loose motion at all.

It’s a Win Win imo
