Wheel weights ??

[greedy 737]

I have a Kubota B7500 hst. with a FEL my rear tires are loaded, I want to add rear weights too. Can I make my on or is it better to buy them? I have 8" from where they mount to the rim to the out side of the tire, Don't want weight's to hang out beyond tire to much. How much more weight can I gain? Don't want to add weight to the 3PH I us it to much! Thank's

Hi Ronnie, welcome to the forum. Do a search on wheel weights and you will come up with several versions of ones people have made. The ones from a dealer are surprisingly expensive so the DIY method is worth looking into.

Could you explain why you want to add even more weight since you already have your tires loaded (=500-700lbs). Your FEL can only lift about 660lbs so it is unlikely you are going to need extra weight to balance the loader. Having just about any implement on the 3PT would add another 4-500lbs or so.

I recently posted my wheel weight project in the projects forum. The weights were 85 pounds a piece.

What are your tires loaded with? I started out with water (antifreeze) but now have foam (after a sharp tree stump let the water out) and I have to work at it to get the rear wheels off the ground.
