We have a 4640 that didn't have any rear weights and it would slip with the JD 630 disk behind it. After we weighted it down using the 1,500 lbs weights that took care of the problem. The tractor will actually work the engine now. We took the 4640 to a local shop to have the wheel weights put on due to the amount of work. I just am not sure if the 1,500 is overkill, or more than I should put on the tractor. I will admit I was suprised the differance it made on the 4640, but that is a lot bigger tractor all around, and seems to handle the extra weight with no issue. [Reply]  [No Email]
