wheel weights---opinions needed

[Glenn9643]

If you think you might be around trees I'd suggest a steel canopy and not the fiberglass. The canopy does help, but how much depends on the time of day. Wish I could spring for a cab tractor...
I don't have wheel weights, but usually hook to an implement for weight, depending on what I'm moving with the FEL. Relatively light work I use the box blade (600 lbs). Heavy hauling I hook to the bushhog (1100 or so) or the tiller (about 900). I have R4's, and the only time I've needed more traction was pulling 20" subsoiler in this gumbo when it was too dry.
While you're planning your purchase, check on the price of a toothbar for the bucket. It makes a world of difference getting the bucket into the ground.

You might want to consider getting the adapter from TSC and putting water or something else in the tires. Do a search if you are interested, there's been a lot of discussions on it.

I heard you can use windsheild washer fluid. It won't detererate the tire and is cheep.

I have heard of that as well and to be honest it bothers me to see it used. Washer fluid has Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in it, that is why it wont freeze (to a point)... Well I don't think I have to say what the tire is full of do I? Can you say boom?

Do they use Isopropyl Alcohol in your area? Methanol is the only alcohol that I have ever seen use. That is the reason that I am asking.
