I thought I would update this thread and see if I could get some more info on B-series wheel weights.
I went to the dealer today and ordered a full set of R1's for my B3200, also found out that he could get aftermarket wheel weights that weigh 62lbs each. 2 sets of them would cost about $250. (would have to drill bolt holes in my wheels, not a problem though)
I also found out that Kubota does still make wheel weights for the B-series, but only offers them for the B2320DTN. They cost $250, but I'm not sure how much they weigh. I think they are similar to the old wheel weights like were used on the B7100 etc.
The only thing I can figure out as to why Kubota doesn't offer them for other models is that the new wheels aren't drilled to accept wheel weights. The older tractors (and the B2320DTN) use an adjustable rear axle and those wheels come with 4 square holes in them to bolt wheel weights up to. I also noticed this was the case on a B7500 and B2410 that I saw.
So, anyone know how much the Kubota wheel weights weigh? They didn't even list a code on the quote sheet to find out what they were. Anyone have any old Kubota wheel weights for a 16" wheel they are willing to sell?
I think the fluid filled R1's and about 250lbs of wheel weights should solve my traction problems. :thumbsup:
