L 3400D How many suitcase weights allowed

[tonypresti]

Hello Orange Friends,

I've recently purchased a LX front grill guard with 7 weights. The assembly will bolt right up to the existing threaded holes. I have concern regarding the max number of weights.

The original guard carried 4 weights. This left the front endlight with my 5ft WOODS rotary mower so I would like to use all 7 weights on the new grill guard. Is this OK?

Thanks in advance. Tony

No problem. No loader, right?

Yes, no loader but the operating manual says a max of 5.

Who you gonna believe, Kubota or SGOTI?
It's hard to believe 7 - 50 pound weights is going to put more load on your front axle than the FEL with a full load cantelevered out front. Especially with a heavy cutter on the back.

Operating manual plays it WAY too safe...

OK then and thanks to both of you. It seemed OK to me also but I wanted other opinions.
