I'm wondering where I could get a set of wheel weights or make a set for my 1880. The tractor is sort of tipsy plus lacks traction when I have the loader on. Thank you for your time

Rather than find weights - build/buy a 3 point carry-all.... and load that down when needed!

Easy to remove and has more than one purpose.

Wheel weights on those small tires aren't going to do much for you.
Load the tires internally (liquid ballast) and then put a ballast box or carry all on it loaded up with weight.

They beat me to it, even if you dont do the wheel weights, get a small plastic barrel maybe 15 gallon one, cut it off and fill with cement and hang it off the 3 point hitch,, cheap easy and you can just drop it off when you dont need it

I did this but after getting my first puncture with my BX liquid filled rear tires I decided to get them foam filled. Not THAT expensive for the small tires, and it added something like 150 pounds per wheel centered on the axle. AND flats became a historical worry.

Not cheap though, but my son in law got all four tires on his BX23S foam filled last year, at something under $400 for everything. Easy decision for him, as I contributed $200, since he is a really good father for my grand kids and a great husband for the daughter.

Pretty sure foam filling adds the most weight possible to tires. Wish I could find my records. I did weigh the tires after getting them back, so I might be a little off on weight posted, but not much.
