GT235 suitcase weights

[buckbros]

Does anyone know if a R66949 suitcase weight will fit a GT235?

Front or rear?

For the front, get the BM19511 front weight bracket.

It would be for the front. Mine has a brush guard on it now. I assume that would have to be removed???

Likely.. if they won't hang off the brush guard..

Thanks for the replies. I mow 2 acres of mnt. ground with some hills & banks around some trees.. The front end wants to come up if I am going up a bank & try to turn the front wheels to go around the tree.. I guess I'll just have to put up with it as I am not putting that much in the brkt. & weights.

What do you have on the back that is heavy enough to make the front end light?

There is nothing on the back of the tractor. That is what confuses me. I bought this tractor used after my LT180 started having tranny problems. The LT 180 never lifted up on the front end like the GT235 does. I thought it may be from the heavier tranny on the GT235. The banks I am mowing are pretty steep. Probably why the LT180 tranny gave me trouble.
