I've had quite a few folks giving good advice on pulling logs out of the woods. To be honest, I do more with my H besides skidding, but I just used that as an example of when front end weight would be handy.

Well, I had a plug foul out and decided to take her to the shed and fix it. I raised the tiller and cut the PTO. When I let out the clutch, the front end came up enough to get my attention.
I figure about 100 pounds of dead weight out in front of the front wheels will help keep her steady.
