Ballast wheel weights 4320

[dwmaster]

If I install 2 110 wheel weights will they extend beyond the edge of the rim or wheel? I want to stay flush with the outside of the tire. I move snow and I don,t want to worry about them hitting a car mirror when cleaning parking spots.

If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest loading your rears with calcium chloride water mix. I did that a year ago on my 4320's R4s (added 1000#) and had excellent traction for snow blading and front end loading. Cost about $200.

I was going to do that if the wheel weights were not enough. My loader isn't here yet so I can't test it out. I am going to attempt a 101" snow bucket so I'll need some counter weight besides the box blade. I run a 101" bucket on my skid steers and they also have a 2500 lb. rateing so it should worked. We got 5" of snow 3 days ago and it worked great with just the box blade.

If you are using a 101" bucket on a tractor that is 72" wide that leaves like
15" on each side of the tractor so you would not be that close,right??

My machine has bobcat style bucket atachment. I will be useing diferent width buckets depending on what I am doing. If I am backdraging apartment lots I would choose a narrower bucket to get between as many cars as I can. I also have a super scraper made by bobcat that is only 20" wide. I just don't want another thing to keep in mind when I'am out working in tight quarters. I have a few bobcats so I have quite a few buckets.
