front weights

[GioG]

Good morning everybody. It's been a couple of months.
So I was wondering if MF makes front ballast weights for my 1825E MF? I noticed that when I apply some weight on the 3 point hitch...the front of the tractor comes off the ground (a little bit) if I need more traction with the 4X4 engaged....I got none.
Thank you.

Any front suitcase weight, 35lb size for compact Ford New Holland should work, such as the following:

You could check tractor salvage yards like Southern Global or Wengers

The 42lb Deere weights are quite common.

John Deere Tractor Rear Weight BG20029 - The Home Depot

If you can get a front 2" receiver there are many weight brackets that fit.

I have a L3010 Kubota I wanted weights for. Kubota dealers near me ( 2 of them with in an Hr drive) were not interested in helping. The JD dealer had 3 sizes in stock - 110 lb, 70 lb, and 42 lb. I wanted about 200 lbs so I bought 3 - 70's. Had to modify slightly to go on the tractor weight rack. They cut like butter with a .040 disc. The local Home Depot also carries the 42's.

Just couldn't stand the green

The loaders on my M's seem to provide plenty of tractive effort for the front wheels.

I put 150lbs worth of weights like that on my previous B8200 to keep the front end down when lifting a 3 point mower.
Keeping them JD green would have looked goofy!
