In Reply to: Pie Weights - Part 2 posted by Tom Bond on April 02, 2014 at 19:31:25:

Hello Tom , Ford only listed the Light Duty 30 lb pie weights for the Row Crops because of the weakness of the rear end assembly not because of the PA rims and most manure loaders only lift about 1000 lbs because of the front axle which also very weak . These are only AG tractors they are not designed to weighted very heavy nor were there any heavy loaders made for them , that's why Ford built Industrial tractors for big loaders and heavy rear axles designed to carry lots of weight . I do not understand why these questions keep coming up , it says right in the OWNERS MANUAL not to use the heavy wheel weights and as you said you believe you read it , Do you think Ford set these standards just to fill a book ? Just like when Ford says a particular loader needs 3000 , 4000 , or 5000 lbs of counterweight on the back of a tractor to make it work effectively for LIFTING and TRACTION yet guys will post over and over that their tractor does work well when using the loader but then say they have no weight on the back because they don't want to be bothered by loading the rear tires or to have a block on concrete on the three point hitch . There is plenty of Owners Manuals out there especially for Ford and for just about every implement Ford ever made wether it is original or a reprint and Ford ALWAYS said what to use or not to use . Thanks Tony

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
