Yup, TresCrows was just a kiddin'. There's a lot of that on this board, but it's the same as someone standing next to you elbowing your ribs more then a face slap.
The weight on and off has it's drawbacks, you want lots of weight for loader work, 3pt weight block or tire ballast or weights or box blade etc. But one of the reasons I have a BX is also that I want something that can be stripped down to it's lightest, for CAREFULLY, with the Loader LOW moving some gravel into an area NOTHING else can drive without putting mats down (a hassle). Be kind of neat to see some wheel weights where you had 2-3 per wheel and they came on and off with some sort of a cam lock device, no bolts, no wrenches. I've got to make myself one of those neat blocks to attach to the 3pt so I don't lose my turn around ability like I do with a box or something on the back.
It's neat that the loader really comes off easy so you can mow in "Light-Tractor" mode. Without my knowledge or request, my BX came with ballast in the TURF tires! I went to take them off to put on some Baby Ags, couldn't understand why I couldn't get them off the tractor, tug tug...
Finally gave it a good tug (thought the paint was stuck or something). Got one nice big weight in my lap! /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif.
I just never expected I would be given a tractor with ballast in it without any note on the invoice.
It is a little more bumpier without the weight I might ad. Of course I drive at maximum speed all the time, even when I'm turning as it's designed to meet it's potential, that being that it is 62.8 times the tractor my
