Here is a set of wheel weights I adapted to my Branson 4720h from my ferguson to30 (love that tractor). I bought a set of 3/8 by 21 by 12 steel plates. I cut the corners off to fit the cup and attacked with 4 of the outside bolts. Attached the weight plate with 4 bolts thru trhe 3/8 plate then thru the weight plate.Hung the weight plate and hung the pie weights I am missing 3 per side. It still added over 500# per side.I now can fill the loader with class 5 with no feeling of lightness in the rear.

Nicely done.

Maybe,,, you can remove enough weights to have the remaining ones evenly spaced,,,
and still have enough weight.

My 60HP tractor has less weight than that,,, not much, but, it is less.
I would not add more to my tractor, it is not needed.

That would be cheaper than adding,,, and you have the stuff to try it!!! :thumbsup:

I've sped down the road at 16 mph (as fast is it goes) and no wobble or imbalance yet anyway.So I guess I'll just leave it for now.I see them on the internet but can you imagine the shipping.
