Burder box, they reckon about 500-600kg full of packing sand.

I tried that but it held his place in the thread and just censored the post and I found that equally if not more annoying.

It does hold the post position, but the post itself cannot be read, unless you click on it to read.
No click = No read,.....unless part of a "Reply With Quote".

I can accomplish the same when I see his name on the post.

Rear wheel weights or loaded tires do nothing for ballast. If that is all the weight that you have on the rear of the tractor you may cause undue wear and tear on the front axle of your tractor. The rear of the tractor will stay on the ground somewhat but the weight of the load is being held up by the front axle. If you think of it like a physics problem it is pretty simple. The weight of the bag is transferred to the front axle and it is trying to lift the rear axle. This results in the rear tires coming off the ground. You need to put enough weight behind the rear axle so that the rear axle becomes the pivot point, not the front axle. This will keep the rear tires on the ground and lightens the load on the front axle.

We do disagree on this one.
I find his posts to be somewhat challenging, and certainly unique.
I did live in South Louisiana for a few months in the early 60's.
Great folks, with their very own deep dialect language.

If that was the best he could do I’d be more sympathetic but I’m fairly certain he’s taking more energy to write like that and doing it on purpose in a poor attempt to be cute.

I believe it is against the rules to go disparaging another member in posts making those so doing being the ones who should be banned if any.

Incorrect.

When the tractor rear comes off the ground, the front axle is the fulcrum and both rear wheel weights and loaded tires provide some counterbalance.

However, the same rear wheel weight and/or loaded rear tire weight on the Three Point Hitch is much more effective due to leverage of weight positioned further to the rear.

And the front wheels are 'floating' so once the back wheels are off the ground the main body of the tractor can move/roll sideways on the pivot point on the front.
