Weights For the Front of my B2320

[jstarkey]

I've got the rear of my B2320 pretty well ballasted with loaded tires and a ballast box with around 500 lbs in it. I have a loader but want to add some more weight to the front to improve traction.

I'm looking for information/prices for what I need. I'm guessing there are suitcase type weights available but can't seem to locate them on the Kubota site.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Have you gone and inquired at your dealer? I bought three for my Kubota at my dealer. I could have fashioned something up, but I wanted the correct setup on my tractor. My dealer had a bonepile of weights, and I got them for a good price. Brought them home, cleaned them up, and painted them Kubota blue. They look great, they belong there, and they are easy to remove if necessary.

You couldn't put suitcase weights on an L3200 with a FEL - they don't physically fit. I don't know about the B series. I welded together a bunch of 1x4 flat bar and hung it under the front grill guard. Looks and works great! While you are at the dealer, have him look up the specs on the front axle. You don't want to get so much weight there that you break it. Wheel weights might be a better idea.

I was going to mention the same thing. To much weight on the front axle can break it in half and thats never fun to deal with.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll ask the dealer about wheel weights vs detachable weights. Definitely don't want to break an axle .

After looking into putting more weight on the front of my B2320 with a loader I'm interested to know if anyone has fabricated weights to bolt onto the existing holes where the suitcase weight hanger would go? This would go behind the grill guard. I'd like to see about having someone create some for me but some photos of what others may have done would help a lot.

Thanks,

James
