Ballast Rear ballast for TC25/29/30/33 with FEL

[Mosey]

Mike - Thanks for clearing that up.

John - Sorry about not being clear. Like Mike said, the loader has plenty of power.

In a nutshell, the problem is that the loader itself weighs over 500 lbs more than other loaders that are mounted on a TC29D, such as the New Holland 7308 or the Woods 1012, which means I have to add an extra 500 lbs on the back to make it safe to use. That means my tractor weighs an extra 1000 lbs, which is not what I wanted.

The other thread is When is rear ballast needed with a FEL?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( John, it's not that the loader can't pick up that much sand, it's that the tractor can't pick it up without the back end of the tractor coming off the ground. If you haven't been following the other thread, that might not have been too clear. )</font>

Yeah, I found the other thread right after I posted that message. That's what I get for not checking back in to TBN for a few days... lots of catch-up to do.
