You can NOT hang enough iron on the rear wheel to equal the weight of fluid .Ne9ighbor to us will not put fluid in his tires on his 1066 and has take to hanging wheel weights , he now has eight weights on each side and all that he has accomplish is breaking off some fence post while trying to get close to the fence while plowing . we have a 1066 and the same tires but we have fluid in ours . He can not pull his plow with out spinning but put our 1066 on his plow you just go down the field and never spin a lick . He will not use duals because his dad say ya don't need duals he can not pull our disc where we can even with out duals because we are heavier . Ya want to put your pony power to the ground then ya need the weight , if you want to use a loader then ya had best load the tire and hang iron . I use to handle lots of IRON in the form of plows , disc. planters balers , haybine and DOA tractors with a 706 with a 2000 loader with a six foot boom pole and more then once i had the back of the 706 off the ground with loaded 18.4x34's six sets of donuts and 20 100 lb ft weights hanging on a fast hitch set up and could have used another ton on the back , Learned that a 15 foot Brillion Cultamulcher was just a tad more then i wanted .

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
