B7500 wheel weights

[TimU]

Has anyone installed rear wheel weights on a Kubota B7500? What works? The best option I’ve found locally (to avoid shipping) that I believe will work are the BM17965 from John Deere. I would obviously need to paint them orange. Has anyone tried these? Thanks

Have you filled the tires with ballast?

No, and don't believe anyone makes rear wheel weights for your 7500.

Liquid ballast is almost certainly your best option.

I had fluid ballast in them before but didn’t replace it when I replaced the tires. I would prefer bolt-on weights in case I get a flat.

Agreed.

I changed all of my own tires and almost never used liquid ballast but, aside from a three point mounted counterweight, you have few options other than cobbling something up.

I’m ok with cobbling as long as I can paint it orange and it works
