Weigh placement is a trail and error scenario.
It depends on the track, the tires,drawbar etc. Heck I know guys who carry a notebook and write different weight placement combos down. You will never get it exactly correct for each and every pull. Good luck..... .

tires can make a huge difference. Cut tires will bite a heck of a lot more than uncut tires. If you can't get bite, you can't pick the front up no matter how hard you try. Like said earlier, see what everyone else is doing in comparable classes.

All depends on the track, size tires, hitch height, hitch length, how much motor you have. We use only suitcase weights because they are MUCH easier to move around. The best is to watch other tractors like yours and see how they are weighted. If you tractor is bone stock, 7500# class might be pretty tough for it. Good luck.

The best thing you can do is balance that trator. Trial and error is the best thing you can do. I pull a super m with 14.9's on a loose track also and suitcase weights are the best thing I have found to use. I can easily move them from front to back. You want a little front end lift-just let it bounce up and down barely touching. It is going to be very hard with wheel weights to get that kind of result. Wheel weights are great in the field but not so great on the track. Plus you will be smashing some fingers this summer moving those things.

I can pull the 7500 class but dont find it worth it. Pretty hard to beat a 706.

Good luck.
