Weights, and roll over

Posted by 68 Mag on October 19, 2001 at 08:24:05 from (205.188.196.56):

I have made a deal with my neighrbor. I cut all the wild cane (bamboo) out of his field with a sickle bar, and haul it off, I can have the old JD combine thats there. Now he hasnt worked the field for years, and the old access road now runs across 3 different properties, so I cant drive the tractor down it. However, he has built a new one- The problem is it's on a hill, with about a 65* slope. What worries me isnt going down the hill to the field, it's coming back up. Now, I wont be doing this until I purchase my own 8N, because Dad wont let me use the Super A. Now, what would be the best possible weight combination to keep the tractor from rolling over backwards coming up the hill? I'll assume each trip up the hill, I'll have 100 pounds on the back of the tractor, behind the tires, on the three point. Wha about front wheel weights, or filling the front tires? But, wouldnt I lose traction in the back? Or make it even harder for the tractor to pull up the hill?
