Hi Folks, Is there a trick to figuring how much front weight you need, other than trial and error? The link (if it works) is the type of tractor I have with a front loader added. I have a container on the back that holds a cubic meter that I haul horse manure away with. When I have the front loader fork and shovel mounted, no problem. But when they are off, I can't keep the front end on the ground when my container is full. My first thought was to weigh the fork and bucket and just hang that much weight on the front end, but that may be overkill. I could be wrong in my thinking (why I'm asking you folks), but with the front loader weight all attached to the center of the tractor, I would need considerably less weight attached up front. I don't know what my container weighs when full, but I guess the weight of 1 cubic meter of dirt would be the heaviest thing I'd put in it. Any idea how much weight I'd need? I'm going to have to make something, so need to get as close as possible to start. Thanks, Dave http://homepages.compuserve.de/matbush1710/01_schlepper/326/326.htm
