How much weight do I need on the front end?

[Anonymous Poster]

I own an Iseki TS 2205 2wd tractor. When I put my 5' bush hog on the 3ph I loss control of my steering wheels, even if I put just the slightest lift on the mower.

My question is would 125 pound be enough weight on the front end. My bush hog is not light weight but it isn't a heavy weight either. I would guess it weighs about 500 pounds. I can lift one corner by myself when I am mounting it on the 3ph.

Thanks,

At least half the weight of the implement is a simple rule of thumb

If you give us the model of rotary cutter, we may be able to give you the weight.

Jim,

I believe it was an Agri-King. The labels are worn off.

Thanks,
