yanmar 1610 bumper weight

[coonbilly]

hello out there,

i'm trying to get a heads up on how much weight to put on the front of my yanmar 1610. i know the weight of the tractor itself is close to 1500 lb. any thought on filling the rear tires with ballast for pulling? i have some old railroad track that runs about 90 -100 lbs a foot. any input is appreciated. the tractor is a 2-wheel drive unit

I would think #200 max. would be about right. 225# is recommended for my YM2000B, (1668#), which is what I have and seems to be about right.
