Ballast Rear wheel weights

[punkinspecial]

I am considering rear weights for my dk55. Are they available from Kioti dealers or are there any weights from other manufacturers that may fit?

I'm not sure, but if you have industrial tires, the wheel weights from Kioti won't work. I believe they are only for R1 wheels.

Check the website under accessories for the weights.

I should have added that my dk55 has AG tires. I forgot about the industrial option. A case of oldageitis!

Why not just load your tires? They have started using something new here in WA, beet juice! won't rust or corrode your wheels is environmentally friendly won't freeze down to a certain temp don't remember what that is, weighs about eight pounds to the gallon.

I also should have added that the tires are loaded. I just want a little extra weight on the rear. It is not always easy to attach a counter weight on the 3 point hitch. Some of my land is rough and hilly, amd sometimes I use it in tight places. Thanks

It appears that the new website for Kioti doesn't have the wheel weights listed, nor are they listed under the tractor's specs.

I'm fairly sure that I saw them offered under the old website, so check with a Kioti dealer.

I'd be careful about adding wheel weights to loaded tires. I know many people do, but make sure you find out the MFG recommendation on ballast maximums.
