Cast iron wheels for M7040

[Glowplug]

Probably the best option would be to get wheel weights if they're available for the R4s. I had thought about getting R4s when I was shopping for my m7040 but since I would have had to change the wheel size and reprogram the speedometer I had second thoughts. I was a little bit concerned about the gear ratios when using 4WD if I had changed the wheels too. When my dealer told me that the CI disks weren't available for the size of wheels the R4 tires would fit I decided against it. With your use for the M7040 YOU could always look into getting a 3rd party subframe mounted backhoe for it. Now that would be pretty cool looking. I doubt if it would work though.

You will have to use a ballast box for weight then

I have my rear tires watered down. Also my rear box blade is 81" wide and weighs around 1500 pounds. But I can always use more, just not a ballast box.

More? --> How about wheel weights?

I have all 4 tires filled and 4 sets of wheel weights and still am a little light on the rears without 1 of my heaviest rear implements. Of course that is only when using the loader at its maximum capacity. Full bucket of dirt, no problem.

No one makes wheel weights that are heavy enough for me. I want 500 LBS per side. When I am pulling hard I usually fill up my FEL scoop with dirt for added weight. It makes a world of difference in traction.
