Oliver 1755 Slab Weights-How Many?

Formerly PaMike · Jul 31, 2013

I am putting together a 1755 and I am getting a bunch of parts shipped in for it. The guy has some slab weights for the front he is willing to sell. How many slabs do most guys run on the front? I will be pulling a round baler on some hills. I want to balance the tractor well without overloading the frontend.
Thanks

2 or 3 "look" good. Just depends on how much weight you really need. They weigh in at 160 pounds apiece.

For your needs I don't think you really need any. I have a 1650 with no front weights, put a 150 gal. 3pt sprayer on it and have no problems on our hills. (SW MO)

You'll need the base weight which serves as the mount bracket. You may not need anything else.
You'll know when you use it but certainly no more then 3 slab weights.

Thanks guys. I have to ship the weights in so I didn't want to buy one then go "gee, wish I would have bought two." I think I will buy three, then I am safe...

I've got 4 slabs on our 1855, as well as the starter and 1 stack weight. Really only needed for plowing but I rarely take them off. If it didn't plow I might use 1 slab, and probably no more than that.
