Wow thats a lot of weight. So you can have to much weight. Good to know that. so weights are primarly for plowing, our pulling other stuff like logs, etc.
Remember, Vertical's tractor is 2WD so he needs more rear weight added than you do. Also you say you have radial tires which is good, I don't think he mentioned what his were. I have a friend who has a FWD 5425 with radials and it pulls fine with 2 rear wheel weights on each side. He can pull a 3 leg subsoiler using the FWA.Wow thats a lot of weight.

So when you speak of making adjustments, you are not thinking of changing the placement of the wheel on the axle?
We decided to go ahead and purchase the JD 1000. It was more than we were planning to pay, but is newer and should pull easier and somthing to leave for the next generation.
Yes, I was referring to moving the wheels in or out by repositioning the disks and/or rims. I may be wrong but I believe rack and pinion axles were an available option on the 5425. That sure would make it easier to adjust, plus they came with cast iron centers for more weight.He is referring to moving the wheels in or out on the axle, except in your case you change the placement of the wheel disks to change the width. There's a chance your tractor will be setup right as it is, you'll just have to measure.
Ok, thats sound like a lot of work if we had to change the wheel position. I assume you only change the right one, if necessay? I think we did that on a JD A in when I was in high school. Long time ago. Ha! Anyway I think I better pick up a manual for the plow.
So that leads me to the next question, if you guys would care to comment. We also need to pick up a second disk harrow preferably 3 point mounted. I notice they come in several wideths. 7,8,9 feet, etc. What would be a comfortable size for the 5425?
