Cheap Front Weights??

Simple to add to the tractor. Just dust off your old weight machine in the basement and remove the weights.
Weld up a simple bracket/box that can be bolted to the front bumper. Drill a 1" hole in both sides and cut a piece of 1/2" black pipe or galvanized pipe to fit. Set the weights in and slide the pipe in and secure with pins.

You're gonna laugh...I tore down a barn recently and picked a weight machine up. Immediately, I thought about using the weights on my tractor...my son wanted it for what it already was. It's still out there in the pasture, awaiting a move on either party.

I picked those up at a second hand store and didn't have to dispose of the rest of the contraption. Go get what you need now, while you can :yum:

That's purty darn cool Jerry. Good thinking!!!!!!
At first I was wondering where you got the square weights ... but all the weight machines use that type. Makes sense. :thumb: :beer:
