Ballast Will a front end loader clear these weights if used

[dogtired]

Part number 718215036 100 lb front end weights .

Will they fit with the loader attached and will the loader clear them ?

Probably not. Why would you want weights if you have a FEL? A half a bucket of dirt will be more than any weights you can put on the front.

You didn't state which tractor you have but.....You cannot leave any New Holland or Midwest casting weights (new Holland clones) on the Boomer series. I have tried 100 lb and now own 3 60 lb weights. But you can put them on easy enough as I do when I remove the loader to mow. I just use clevis pins with fender washers instead of bolts to keep weights from bouncing off.

I'd like to hear the answer on that one too.

Well flat lander


Will be doing work on some slopes / need front end weight for safety when working on them with the rear end pointing down hill.

Need to get center of gravity down if possible

the weights will have to come off with the loader on. I install two 100lb weights when I remove the loader and put the brush hog on for the one time a year mowing that I do. With the front grille guard on you can only fit two weights on but without the front grille guard you can attach an extension that will allow up to 5 weights to be used; again all without the loader installed.

I use a twin spindle cutter that weighs about 750 lbs bechind my TC40 and mow on hilly ground and it was ok with the 200 lbs but I would have peferred 400 lbs.
