You need to change your name. A True Redneck wouldn't care how they looked. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

MikePA,

That setup looks good. Best I've seen using barbell weights.

Mine have a couple of holes in them, but I don't think that they look to bad.

Randy,

Some farmers I know have coated the wheels with a release (plastic) and bolted threaded rod thru the holes that are in the wheel to hold the weights. Use stainless rod and nuts. The rod is long enough to extend past the outside of the wheel and is bent into a circle. Then with the tire on the ground they pour it full of cement. Some have made a form so it is taller than the wheel. The circle on the rods are used to pick up and move the weights.

The finished weight can be painted to match the tractor or left "natural" for that true redneck charm.

Cost -- about $20.

Oh, if they are poured flush with the wheel, it will enhance your aerodynamics and reduce drag when speed plowing....

I don't know how much all you wheel weighters are using, but a word of caution may be in order. When thumbing thru my B7610HSD owner manual looking for oil capacity last weekend (Hehe, fresh Rotella T Synth - let the flame wars begin), I was surprised to see a max rear axle weight capacity of only 78lbs. per side! 150lbs... pfssst. The ballast box has a recommended 500lb capacity.
