Hi Tim, I know what you mean about no level ground. I've got a few hundred acres like that. Just ballast the front of the tractor enough to keep some steering. You're going to have to try and draw a balance between steering and traction. I would think that with the plow, you might need one or 2 blocks, with the trailing disc, none. The bushhog may require several of them. The proper weight distribution on a 2-wheel drive is 75-25 rear to front. Your's is approaching 60-40, which is roughly how I balast my MFWD tractors. Just remove weight, and be careful. Good luck. Rod
