Thanks for the help. I'll go with the 1200lbs estimate. The tractor is WAY heavier than it needs to be. 90% of what this tractor does, it doesn't need the wieght. Mowing and raking hay, bush hogging, pulling a 4 row planter, and a 6' tiller.
I have a 60hp, JD 2440. It wieghs in at around 5300lbs. Currently, with the front wieghts and the fluid in the tires, we're talking near 7200lbs. Too much!
I plan on taking the fluid out of the tires, and adding 2 wheel wieghts on each side. The front wieghts are an easier fix. Just take them off, and leave the 80lb base wieght. That should put me in the 5900lb range.
