Thats alot of IRON to be hung to equal one loaded tire as the one neighbor is finding out now that they are coming into the TWENTY century where five sets of wheel weights was enough for the S/MTA that DAD bought NEW and was the main power for EONS and when the boys got big enough the second one was added , Now that the BOYS are doing it all they have stepped up to a 1066 and five sets are NOT enough to hold it down in our hills . And adding more IRON tuns into a problem when tryen to get thru narrow gates and door ways . I don't care what or who's brand of tire ya run when you doing tillage or moving loaded silage wagons you want and NEED the weight . We had one tractor that had NO weight that we used and setting bare she was right around 94-9500 lbs and on the hills the Haybine would shove you , my 806 weighs in at around 13500 and on the one field at the one end that same haybine will shove you on the turn . Yes Cal will eat a rim out if you get a leak but it is NOT going to happen over night it takes YEARS of neglect of a leaking tire and being to lazy and cheap not to fix the problem . When i installed the new radials on the 806 i did have to do a valve stem hole repair on a rim that is how old , like back to 1964 . You car or pick up is going to rust out a lot sooner . To equal the same weight per side you would need iron on both sides of each rear tire . Around here i know of two tire shops that will not use the beet juice .
