Massey Ferguson 4700 series

Anyone with a 4700 have any input on weights? I take delivery of a new 4707 this week and wonder, since they are already heavy, if they need wheel weights. Thanks.

Branson 8050 which is a fairly heavy tractor with 1200 pounds of wheel weights;



two 300 pound weights each side

Have the dealer load the rear tires with non-corrosive fluid. No downside. Out of the way. Out of sight, out of mind. Does not hinder you but provides improved traction and balance. Of course it depends on what you will use the machine for, on what kind of terrain, etc. I got a MF2660 new in 2011, had the rear tires loaded. Mainly used bush hogging and some pinch bucket loader work cleaning up an old farm. Been very pleased I did so.
