The project got shelved since I have been too busy to make the pattern. I have all of the emails that guys sent me that are interested. When time permits I will let you all know again. The cost for making just a few was very prohibitive, but several at one time would bring the cost down.

Could you make some for me that are helium filled ? My tractor is too heavy on the front and I thought if I could get about ten of them it would help. Thanks!!!!!

Try holding one of the ones you have up to your ear. Maybe some will leak out of your head and seep into your suitcase weight.

Try helium in your front tires if the front is too heavy. Don't try it in the back though, It'll make you spin out real easy!

You certainly can, but the molecules are so small they'll leak out of a typical tire tube in a hurry.

It's a great mind game. For instance your the first puller in your class and their are alot of similar tractors in your class. Through what would appear to be 200 to 300 lbs up front make a decent pull and watch your competor's adjust their weight's. I witnessed this exact thing happen at the NATPA quailifier in Lincoln Nebraska by a dominant division V tractor who was the first hook in the class and in fact ended up winning the class quite handily.

They would obviously be easier to put on. These cast iron weights are too hard to handle. SIMPLE!!!!
