Do you know how much your tractor should weigh?

Couldn't agree more!

"But for work around a small property, I think the whole issue of weight = traction is overblown bunk. ... When I need weight for traction, I will ballast it up. "

Has there been a thread on favorite, removable, rear ballast techniques -- eg frame for patio stones, 'proper' cast weights, etc? Any suggestions?

I threw together some 2x8s to hold three 24" patio stones on the lower control arms -- sure makes a HUGE difference.

I don't think there's a middle ground between L&G and utility. Too much is given up. More tractors is the answer!
