Hope, I run 2 100 hp tractors here at my place. 1st, a IH 966 with +/- 750 cast on each rear corner w/ a 2350 loader. 2nd, a JD 4230 with 780 lbs cast on each rear corner w/ a Koyker 565 loader. IMO there can not be too much rear wt on a loader tractor. Simply to have the correct or over ballast to handle what ever is lifted by the loader. Tractors that do light duty farming, then little or no ballast is needed. Yes some tractors are more likely to excessive wear, than others. In the past John Deere had no wt restrictions on the amt of wt their tractors carried. If you could mount it up on the front then OK No warrienty issues. Saw a 4840 once with 2 complete sets of suitcase wt on the front. Bach in the 80s, Versitile would VOID your warrienty if you added wheel wts. On their big 4x4s, ie 850s. So back to your question it depends on what you are doing with your tractor as how much or little wt a tractor needs. Jobs where wts would not be needed as much as others. Grain drill work, most mowing/shredder work, baling...round or sm sqs. Hope this helps. Later, John A.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
