Plower,
I had the same problem. Rear wheel weights were the fix for me. Its amazing how much difference they make.

Plower,
I used 50 pound weights and they are 18" in diameter. That would be to large for your wheels, I think/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif. Having said that, mine cost me about $350 for the brackets and 400 pounds of weights. If you used the 25 pound weights (12" diameter) the cost would be less.

Plower,
If you order them from a dealer, they will be at least twice as costly. I made these.
Here is my weights, etc.

I made the weights, for my B2400, that Andy shows on the net. Not only are they cheep, but are very easy to put on and off. One real good idea. You never bang up your fingers with the 25 pound weights.

Plower,
I had them made. We measured and cut the plate to fit inside the wheel and cut the bolt holes square for the carriage bolts. Then we welded the 1" X 9" bolt in the center. The weights were bought a Wal-Mart. They largest they normally stock is 25 pound, but thats about the size you need.
Any welding shop can make them for you for a reasonable cost compared to any dealer ordered item.

Plower,
Yes, they are barbell weights. The plate I used was 1/4". The plate Andy used was 1/2". Either thickness will work. I have had mine on for about 300 hours and they work great. And likes been said before they are easy to take off. The ones that you just buy are usually one piece and real hard to get off (read HEAVY).
