Yes. 1" thick cut on a water jet. Eight of them per side = 500 lbs per wheel.

Mostly grapple work clearing junk trees and brush off my property. Used the FEL for a little bit of landscaping and moved some snow with it last winter. Meets or exceeds my expectations so far.
What the plan for yours?

Mysfyt.... I plan on using for food plot work (6 ft disc, 12 inch two bottom plow sometimes, tiller, broadcast funnel, row planter, etc.), mowing large lawn with finish mower, snow removal (We have bad winters here...rear mount blower one day, bucket for now), and wood splitter. I think it will be well matched for these tasks from what I researched. I'm glad you have enjoyed yours... sure hope I do to. I know its not the biggest compact on the market....but I just couldn't justify the bigger 4701... besides I had originally targeted the 3301 but as most suggested 'go one size bigger', etc. While the 4701 undoubtedly would perform better for my food plot needs I think the 3901 is the better fit for my day to day.... I'm sure hoping It will scratch my food plot itch though! So far everyone said it will!

My front tires are loaded. Not sure I understand the additional stress on the axle? It is not like adding suitcase weights to the front of the tractor. Loaded tires would be the same as adding wheel weights?
I understand the additional stress if you would lift the front with the loader. Should I unload my tires?

I added the weight thinking it would be minimal help with plowing snow.
