I was wondering if anyone has the suit case weights for thier 3x20 series. I already has an FEL but it occured to me that the FEL limits the visibility and manueverabilty. So I was wanting a solution,(when mowing) I have the standard grill guard. I believe I saw the weights mounted to it. I just can't remember the post to look at. I think the poster was in NE (Maine I think). Any info would be great.

I have a 3720 with a complement of 6-42 lb. suitcase weights. The weights mount under the grill guard on a weight bracket. I believe the bracket will handle 8, and there is an extension to handle even more.

How do they mount? It looks in the pic their mounted to thr black bar the loader hooks on to. Are the sold individually? Are they worth it?

Matt, yes they just hang on the black weight bar that the loader latches onto. They can be bought seperately. Yes, they are worth it. I don't like to run with my FEL on the tractor if I'm not going to be using it. It just makes it looser over time from the constant movement while mowing,roto tilling or brush hogging. So I use the front weights instead of the FEl for weight. Saves wear and tear on the FEL and you can also get into tighter areas without the FEL mounted on the tractor.
