How far does the front weights stick out on the front weight bar? 4820 with a driver? gives you 680# of moveble weight. for 5500#... 6 -75's on the belly bar, (450#) 230# left over. 3-75's,,,, if its a good track, 2-75s on the nose, 1 if its kinda loose. leaves you with a possibilty of 2 -75's leftover, you can put em on the belly bar, or behind the axle, as close to the center of the tractor as you can get. They wont do much back there, but if you dont have anymore room on the belly bar, thats where Id put em. If the front is light, put all 3 up there. 6000#, 500# more weight to add. A set of wheel weights IH 150#s each, (300#) with 200 left over. Or you got 500# worth of suitcase weights. you could put 400# more on the belly bar, and leave you a 100# left over, or split it down the middle, 250 on the belly bar, 125 behind the seat or axle and have 125 for the front if needed. Endless weight combos to think of if you have weight selection. If you got alot of 75# weights, or 100# weights, set em on the brackets, you got access to scales, run the weights right up to the class limit, try not to be 100 # light,,, 25 or less is good. Hope this makes sence.

if tires are hardend 1 lbs per thousand pounds. weights are depending on chain length and track conditions .
