When my wife is mowing with our new X330, it loses traction on some of the slopes we have in our yard. She had to come get me to back it away (uphill) from a tree she somehow managed to get the front end up against and couldn't get it to backup. My extra 35-40 pounds gave it enough traction to get it to back it up. And, luckily, I had had the good sense to put a front bumper on it right away after purchase as the bumper was, in fact, resting right against the tree.
Anyways, I went looking online for wheel weights to put on the rear wheels and found out that they don't make them as the wheel is not designed to accept weights. So I thought I'd pose the questions here as to what other X330 owners might have done to add some rear ballast to their mowers?
Thanks for any advice.
