I have a Ford 850 restored tractor equipped with a small Fasco fully hydralic front end loader.
The problem is with all this weight up front, I need more traction. The tires are 13.6-28 size on 12 inch rims. The tires are also filled with calcium for more weight. I mounted chains on the tires,this helped greatly, but I know I need more weight on the rear for increased traction.
Can anyone advise if they make wheel weights for this size rim?
A friend who has a Golden Jubilee mounted a 50 gallon drum filled with concrete with a draw bar and mounted it on the 3-point system. I am afraid this method would put too much stress on the hydralic system.
Does anyone know of stock wheel weights which can be purchased, or any other ideas to resolve this problem? Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
