Does anyone know if you can use the Front Weight Bracket Extension Kit (FWBEK) in conjunction with the 200CX FEL on a JD 2305? Will these two items interfere with each other? I am considering buying the FWBEK to provide some additional weight on the front end while using a Box Blade on the 3PH. I could leave the FEL on while using the BB, but I'm thinking that using the FWBEK without the FEL will allow me to get into some tighter places with the tractor.

The FWBEK will allow 7 suitcase weights to be added to the front of the tractor and extend these 7 weights out a little farther on the front end, and shift the Center of Gravity foward a bit. Without the FWBEK, 5 suitcase weights can be added to the existing front weight bracket on the JD 2305. Will this extension kit (addition of 2 suitcase weights, extended out a bit further) make a difference using the BB on the 3PH? Any comments?

I just wanted to know if the FWBEK and 200CX FEL can co-exist, since I believe once the FWBEK is installed, you leave it on the tractor. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I am a new 2305 owner, less than 1 hr on my tractor.
My 200X and 200CX Operator's Manual (OMW51850 Issue H5) says on page 15-2:
Note: Front weight bracket "EXTENSIONS" are NOT compatible with the loader. Remove all front weights.
Hope this helps, lots of people on this site with way more experience than I have.

Thanks chipsndust for the manual information. I'm eager to receive my 2305 and wondered about the Front Weight Bracket Extension. Looks like the Front Weight Bracket Extension is not compatible with the 200CX FEL.
