My 850 2WD seems awfully light in the front; many times when I need to make a tight maneuver, it just 'washes out' in the front; the wheels are cut (usually to the right, it seems) but the tractor pushes it forward or straight against the turned front tires. Tried it creeping along and doesnt make a difference so this means stopping the tractor, backing the tractor to a more direct route instead of the tight turn I am attempting and starting over in forward. and sometimes I still miss the turn and have to do this backing again. I have added four 40# weights and no apparent change (although they may be helping a little). I have added ballast to the rears per manual.
This tractor is used in a hilly wooded environment that requires tight and accurate attention.
More weights ? Something in the steering or linkages ?
