John Deere Suitcase Weights

[tncruzin]

Can anyone suggest a source for used suitcase tractor weights?

You have to know the secret handshake. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Just kidding...but it seems like they are very hard to find. I don't know why, they are still making tractors. Seems like somebody would still be molding weights. I've posted on it my self before. If you find a good source, please let me know.

I have been looking for a good source of suitcase weights too - they don't necessarily have to be John Deere. Doesn't seem to be an easy thing to find.

Most states have a used 'farm equipment' junkyard/dealer. Look for several hundred acres or more of old tractors/combines/etc, just setting there rusting away. The bigger, the better. I went to one about 10 years ago and they had several huge piles of old weights. I picked up 6 ninty pound old Farmall weights pretty cheap. Worth a try.

They are difficult to find but expand your search beyond John Deere. A can of paint will make any suitcase weight the brand you need. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree Jeff...I don't care what brand or color they are. The only reason I said John Deere was because I didn't know other manufacturers made the suitcase type of weight.

Thanks for the info! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Lots of folks have made them from weights that you lift. I'm sure someone will post a pic, link.

I have several suitcase weights to sell, if someone wants to contact me.

I'd be interested but shipping to middle Tennessee would probably cost more than the weights.

This is not used, but here is the URL of a company that currently makes them. Hope this helps.
