Suitcase weights finally done!

[ttstraw]

Hello all,

Dont post a whole lot here but do read a bunch. Figured I would share the addition of some suitcase weights that my Dad gave to the front of my B2920. I hate to mow and till with the loader on and on a hill the RFM gets the front just a touch light so getting these fabbed up so I could use them was high on my to-do list. The welder did a real good job, you could tell he took a lot of pride in his work, and with some Kubota paint it looks like it came like this. He set it up so I can leave them on with the loader attached and he also welded a few hooks on the bucket while he had his equipment out. They consist of 6 20lb plates for a total of 120lbs. Pics arent the best since I took them with my phone.

Looks good! The question now is that enough weight to help offset the RFM when you head up the hill?

I was a little worried that it wouldn't be enough but it actually does a pretty good job. Even without the weights you had to really work to get the wheels to come of the ground but now they are planted pretty good.
