ANyone have a cost of rear wheel weights for the 3301? ANy good sources for a set of used ones? how many can go on?

Also, how much does rim guard or WW fluid add to each tire? I have the R-1's

If I were putting steel weights on, I'd go to an auction of old farm equipment, and pick up some old cast steel weights, from a wheel the same diameter as my tractor. THen I'd drill the rim, to make the old iron fit the new wheel. There are a lot of brands of old american equipment, that will fit (with drilling) wheels in the 24-28" range.

How much rim guard will depend on tire size. My l3901 with R1 ag tires took 24 gallons per tire.

Yea, I need to look into adding rear ballast to the back of our L3200. About three times yesterday when I was using the loader with a load of black dirt. I went off camber and about laid it on its right side. Scary as heck! Made the old butt hole kiss the seat and I dropped the loader on the ground as quick as possible.

Was working 20 cu yards of dirt around our outbuilding. It was fun less the tippyiness. Could of did without that.

Thanks for the link also.

Out of curiosity, why did you put the dirt that far up on to the siding of your building? Seems like it would hold moisture against the building and likely rust out the bottom trim and siding everywhere it's covered in dirt.
