Hi all:
I have a 4320 e-Hydro, love it. It came with a Howse 6' rotary cutter that is quite heavy, and if the front end is not weighted, steering is not as good as it should be. The tractor also came with 4 ea. 42# front end weights, 168# total, and with these the tractor handles fine. They hang off the front FEL bracket when the 400X FEL is not attached.
I often use the tractor for mowing, sometimes on side hills up to 20 degrees or so. I've about 40 acres here in the deep south. R4 tires.
My question is, if anyone knows, do these weights change the COG of the tractor, either higher or lower? Seems they might lower it but I'm not sure.
While I'm asking, does the 400X FEL tend to raise or lower the COG? Assume empty standard bucket carried as low as possible. What if sand is in bucket?
Thanks all again,
gbw
btw, the water pump replacement project went well and leak is gone.
