Wheel weights for L3430

[Komrade]

How much do those roughly cost? Are they (mostly) only available from dealer? Are they easy to put on/off?

The reason I don't necessarily want to fill the tires is that w/o the backhoe I have a chance of being able to tow this tractor with my Tacoma (6400lb)
The tractor without the backhoe is about #4500 (L3430 is 3300lb plus Kubota LA723 is #1200.. plus maybe the bucket 300lb), plus whatever the cab weighs (~350lb), for a total of 6150. Well, maybe I won't be towing with the Tacoma, at least not within the written limits. But still, wouldn't it be better to be able to reduce the weight easily? Or perhaps it's easy to pump liquid in and out?

Currently I have a backhoe adding weight in the back, but I want to further lower the center of gravity, as I am a wuss when it comes to driving this thing on my hills.

My hills have (worst case estimated) grade in 30-35% range. My driveway alone is 20-25%. On a bank of a river.

I have OEM weights on my L5740, but you can get weights elsewhere, Lone Star offers them as I am sure do other companies. I have two on each side that weigh 102 pounds each and it depends on how strong you are or how well equipped your shop is, but mine won't be coming off anyway soon. You can get lighter ones, cost was "about" a dollar a pound the best I remember as I bought several things at the same time..

100lb is manageable, but nothing bigger than that.

Are those sold by dealers?

Yes, that's where I bought mine.
