Made a cement weight from a 2'X2' box thirty years ago and it's still hanging on the three point today. On the neighbor's platform scale it weighed 1300 LBS.I call it my "poor man's front assist". It adds a lot to the tractor's stability when the loader is up high, not to mention the added traction. The one is just as important as the other, in my opinion.
Had a long tree limb in the bucket raised high once without the weight on back and the left rear wheel came up. It kept coming until the wide front hit the stops, then I just sat there with the wheel off the ground. I don't remember why the weight wasn't on at that particular time, but it sure scared me. If the weight would have been hanging there the wheel would have stayed down. Jim
