I recently came across over 400 lbs. of old weights that I was able to get for $45. Here's 187lbs of them put to good use. I just needed to cut the bar down so it doesn't stick out wider than the rear wheels. They work suprising well.

That's creative, looks like it will double as a wheelie bar!

Sounds like a bargain price and ought to work well.

Would also double as a set of barbells to work out with after riding the tractor! Tractor owners have to be some of the most creative people around!! ;)

Great idea and certainly will do the job. I found some old front wheel weights and did a very similar thing to my tractor. Made a huge difference in the stability and ride of the tractor.
