Wheel Weights

   / Wheel Weights #31  
150 pounds seems quite low for an axle weight capacity. You might check that again and make sure it isn't referring to something else.

Another note about wheel weights, though, is that the weight never goes to the axle. The weight is all supported by the rims.

Seemed darn low to me too, which is why I mentioned it. Now you know I just had to run out to the shop for the manual to check my memory, here's what it says...

B7610: NO rear wheel weight recommended, use liquid tire ballast ONLY. Largest tire size listed is 11.2-16 with heaviest recommended loading of 172lbs per tire (5lbs CaCl2/1gal H2O=slush free @-52*F).

B7510 Narrow ONLY: Use liquid tire ballast; Rear Wheel Weights optional; Max Weight Per Wheel = 71lbs.

Personally, I have 12-16.5 R4s which I loaded with 15 gals RV Antifreeze per side; about 100lbs each. With the 500lb box and 200lb operator ballast, that's about 900lbs total ballast for FEL work but I can still lift a tire. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
