JD weights are approx $1 per pound if that saves you some money. They have the built in handle at the top and thus the name suitcase weights. $42 for a 42# weight.

Me to. Nearly $1.50 per pound. The tractor itself cost less than $3.00 a pound. My rotary cutter was about a buck a pound, my box blade about $1.25. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I paid about 75$ per 55lb weight. That includes a mounting kit which is basically a bolt, nut and some washers to hold it onto the bumper. They also have a hole in them which I put an 8" threaded rod through to help keep them tight together.
They recommended 220lbs for my L3830 with a 5ft brush cutter on back.

After I posted about removing the weights to put on the loader I looked at my tractor and I had left the weights on and had the loader on! It was setting on the weights. I thought it went on kind of strange.
Didn't hurt anything, I just removed the weights. The loader won't go down below ground level with the weights on.
