72" finish mower on a 21hp tractor???

I leave the loader arms and frame on, but remove the bucket. I can see a front weight bracket in my future to increase visibility.

That is a good idea. I'll think about getting a blank QA plate and bolting some weights on. Maybe even just securely wrapping some chain around the distal FEL arms might work too. Having the weight further forward than on the brush guard would help.

I'm guessing that the weights on the QA might not even be needed. I'd just like to get the loader arms out of the way. Depending on the model, you may or may not need extra weight. I went to look it up and ours is 620 lbs and I don't have fluid in the tires. As always YMMV.
