Just got 600 pounds of wheel weight for an 826 (8- 75 pounders, 2-piece style). To avoid compaction, I like to go as light as possible but realize I need weight for traction. I know the weight will help with my cultimulcher, which is the outfit I have trouble with sometimes, and disc. A mounted 9-shank chisel... I don't know... may be not so much. It seems to have a lot of weight and pull-down on it's own.
My question is this: My "guesstimate" was that the 600 pounds would be about right to leave on all the time. Not too much-not too little. Do you agree or disagree? I also have a full rack of 100 pounders for the front available when needed (never had more than 500 pounds on). Tires (16.9-34s) are at about 60 percent right now.
