If you put down some plywood it would work on your raw land.

Not sure if I'm replying correctly - do I "reply with quote"?

Thank you for your suggestions. I do have a floor jack like the orange one pictured. I confirmed with the dealer. they want $472 just for the labor to install the weights! I had actually thought about using a "ramp" as a lift as well.

As for taking them on and off to fix tire flats, I was not aware of that - thank you for pointing that out.

Now to the 1025R:
Wheel weights are a 70 lb then two 50lb weights for each tire. On the outside you add the 70lb one first, attach a second 50 lb weight, then on the inner side attach the third weight of 50 lbs.

Thank you for your time!

Just something to consider:
Consider Blue Locktiting wheel nuts before torqueing them down. Once all the wheel weights are on, how would you otherwise recheck the lug-nuts for tightness.

Still trying to figure out the extra wheel weight on the inside.

I used carriage bolts originally, but popped the heads off a few of them.

Good to know that is a risk. Most carriage bolts ARE grade 2.

If you want to respond to a particular suggestion it ties the conversation together if you reply with a quote.

For most punctures on tires without ballast you should be able to plug them on the tractor.
