Rear axle weight limit?

[Chuck Oppermann]

Just having fluid in the tires and wheel weights will make your tracvtor a lot more stable on side hills. I have that on a John Deere X740 and I bet I could go sideways on a 45 deg. angle. Snowblowing won't stress your rear end hardly at all. I wouldn't put weights on the back unless I was spinning a lot, and then throw a hundred pounds on it.

Due to the weight of the blower the manufacturer stated I HAVE to use rear weight. So far I think they were right.

I think I would worry more about the weight limit on the front end more than the rear. That is where your load is, the back is just counterweights to equalize the forces on the front.
