Steppenwolfe,

Thanks for the feedback and ideas so far, I appreciate it!

Steppenwolfe,

Did you also have loaded tires?

Yes. These tractors are lite in the rear.

One of Kubota's trademarks is light for their HP. Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes that's a bad thing.

For the size they are I agree, they look really stout and they handle well, they're just light to me in the rear. I'm hoping to help remedy that without overdoing it. Appreciate the feedback.

I would add two sets which will not protrude from the tire. At that if you felt you needed more you could add one more set.. We typically set up tractors as light as possible for overall performance of the equipment. to make a tractor heavier then needed you are going to be carrying that extra weight all the time. This will hinder fuel economy as well as throttle performance. It is important that you can get your work done safely so with those thoughts ballast accordingly to fit your needs.

Very valid points. If my Kubota didn't have an FEL I would remove 2,000lbs of added weights.

I have an L5740HSTC and it has much better traction with my two set of wheel weights. I'm not crafty to adapt something not meant for my tractor, so I went OEM.

Hey, nice job on your weights. These are factory three per side. It rained two inches two days ago and I just went around the back yard with no damage to the grass with my M7060HD12.
