How much weight massey 250

[Claymike]

I am going to use a 110 gallon sprayer (1,500 pounds full) on my Massey Ferguson 250. Terrain is rolling; not extremely steep but rolling enough to get the pucker factor going if you are not focused and cautious which I am. I don’t know how much weight I need on the front. I have a bracket for suitcase weights on the front of the tractor. I would appreciate recommendations for the amount of weight I should use. The tractor has power steering but I’d like to use just the amount of weight necessary. Thanks in advance

I'd sling on 500 lb or so of weights. I use a 3pt spreader that holds about 600lb of fertilizer on a MF 240 with zero front weights and I can get it to lift the front end at times.

I can only guess what the belly pan and top adds to mine in the front, but I also keep a chunk of railroad iron, bottle jack and about 75ft of chain piled in the front of the pan. I can lift and pull my 8ft set of Long harrows with the added weight.
I think like mentioned 500lbs would be a good place to start..

Do you have your wheels out for added width stance? If not I would look into that also.
