Wondering if someone could recommend a source for ~300lb rear wheel weights for a M9000.

Has 18.4-30 tires, steel hubs (not cast). Has four factory-made holes in rims measuring approx. 16" on center (from one hole, across middle of rim to opposing hole).

Not having luck finding any universal weights that are remotely close to that, even with the slotted holes. Want to avoid going the "Make 'er fit!" route. ⚒:oops:

Tractor currently has calcium fluid, and we're replacing the rims and tires because both are disintegrating. Would really like to go with weights versus doing this again.

North States makes weights to fit your tractor.

They make weights for Kubota/others and are less expensive than Kubota weights.

They do not sell retail so you must work through a dealer.

Free shipping to your dealer if total order totals 1,000 Lbs. or more.

Order the bolt kits also.

Use anti-freeze and water instead of calcium. Might try the dealer for the cast centers. They weren't that high when I ordered the tractor but getting them after the fact may be a different story.

RV anti-freeze that is.
Ethelyene-glycol is highly toxic if you cut a tire and this ends up in a water supply.... especially your water well.

Will try to track down those weights, worst case will go with some kind of antifreeze.

Other than upfront cost, was always surprised that something non-corrosive like Dowfrost or similar never became the standard for tire fluid. Stuff isn't cheap but neither is replacing rims!

Anyway thanks for the tips.

I found some wheel weights from a company called Taylor Foundry out of Wichita Falls Texas. I found them on line.

Taylor Foundry has been making weights for decades.

They, too, make weights for manufacturers (or at least did).

Not sure if they sell retail.
