In Reply to: How Much Wheel Weight posted by Jim Allen on January 31, 2009 at 13:05:59:
Interesting replies gents. Thanks!
First a correction. It's an 8-shank chisel, not a 9. I dropped it back from 11 at purchase.
I will NEVER install clamp-on duals. My current wheels have the rings for them and there are witness marks on them showing they were used in the past. That may be why I broke two studs on the left rear and lost the wheel in the field that first season with the tractor (some of you may remember my rendition of the incident). Two of the studs (one on each clamp) snapped (sounded like a rifle shot!) and the wheel slid off the axle and dropped the tractor on it's side. My undies had to be discarded but there was no other serious damage to anything.
Let me put some conditions on this. Money is an issue here. I have yet to find a set of hub duals (hub and flanged wheel) that were reasonable. I'll jump if and when I find the right deal. Until then....
While the weights were cheap, I get the feeling from you guys that money would have been better applied to a good set of 18.4-34s, even if only to run them single. And then with another pair of them, I would be primo. Frankly, the weights were an "impulse buy"' done without much thought.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
