Does the weight of the FEL give you more stability??

[Danner]

I would say no. I personally never mow with my FEL mounted, more weight = more yard damage as the front tires dig in more while turning

Agree.

Note that Rays post 43 shows pictorily why the center pivot does not divide wheel load evenly on a slope.
Thanks Ray. :star:

Does anybody have those scales like you weigh a go cart or a car with? You could weigh a BX on level ground and record the weigh at all 4 corners. Then put a 6x6 block or a concrete block, scale on it then the tractor and weigh it to see what the difference is.
