So, I bought the weight transfer for a 430 model. The brackets when switched to the opposite side and redrilled fit fairly good. If the...

Agreed. That’s going to be a much simpler and significantly cheaper solution. Post some pics once you finish with the fabrication. I...

The weight transfer system on the Ventrac/Steiner provides a small amount of lift to the front implement when it is float. This...

Yes, I also don't understand the physics of it. The mower in float should be a neutral balance. But the front end pushes and the machine...

That results in uneven cutting,and when you hit undulations it results in all of the weight coming off of the front tires. In fact there...

In the pictures it looks like mower lift pivot point is in front of and above the front axle. While in float and driving forward...

I can't get my head around the fact that the mower takes weight off the front axle because the mower operates in the float position. The...
