My 4520r has no bolt holes for wheel weights?

   / My 4520r has no bolt holes for wheel weights? #51  
I am just throwing this little bit of info in because it came from my dealer who just sold me a 3620h. When I asked about adding adding wheel weights as an option to improve traction, he told me Branson does not recommend the use of wheel weights due to the added stress on the axle components and is why there are no holes in the rims. Not sure how that is different than filling tires but I did go the filled tire option. Maybe filling tires limits the max weight that can be added to the direct drive line components?

The “added stress” makes no sense. There are two different rims out there. The white rims have bolt holes for weights and the red rims don’t. I have the red rim��. Not sure if everything that is being sold now is just red rims? Not sure.
Advantage of wheel weights are long term cost savings. Tire goes flat, you will have to replace the fluid $$$$. Replace tires, you will have to pay for the cost of draining and refilling $$$.
Wheel weights can be sold off again.
