Ballast rear wheel weights for small chassis?

[73jeep]

In the "1500 Series" brochure booklet where rear wheel weights are mentioned, it states "Wheel weights are available for use on large chassis R1,R3, and R4 tires." So, does MF make a rear weight for the smaller models? I can see they have a hole pattern to accept wheel weights. Maybe this is an early brochure and MF plans to phase-in these weights on their smaller models in the future??
One more question....., the front weights....how much does each weight weigh?

They may have them, but I have never seen them for the smaller tractors. I am amazed that they or any of the OEMs sell wheel weights for compact tractors at the prices they charge for them. That’s why I made my own. There was a guy on E-Bay selling the brackets, but he is long gone. They are real easy to make and a whole lot less expensive.

I suppose you could fill the tires with fluids and add a ballast box and that would cover for the rated loader specs. The reasoning is most likely linked to mowing: you would not want heavy rear iron wheel weights on smaller CUT idealy sized for mowing.

I thought I would like to keep rear tires light for mowing, but maybe would need front weights to help with lifting 60" Rear Finishing mower. Would only need rear wheel weights to help with tiller(and would like to buy 1-bottom plow).
