I'll not resort to name-calling, as seen in the earlier post, but you do need to add weights in most cass. My M is worthless in the 5000 pound class. The tractor is simply balanced all wrong. As posted earlier, too much of the weight ends up too far forward when you lighten the tractor. I would bet you would be more competitive at 7000 than you would be at 5000. You might even do well at 8000 - a local here has a SM and does very well in 8000. He does have added weights, though. And you can tell just from how he placed those weights, that he put some thought into how much and where to put things. As for the wear on your tractor when you pull heavier, I'll agree there. Though I seriously doubt that a single pull will do as much to wear and tear on a tractor as a week of plowing, pulling 3 bottoms in heavy soil, did when the tractor was really expected to work. It's your tractor. Do what you want to get some enjoyment from it.
