When Dad pulled the plow with the 285 (Oliver 565 w/3-16 bottoms) he had 4 suitcase weights on it, plus a large peice of concrete he found with a pipe through the middle that he hung betwen the other weights. Still would get light in the front. The 1600 has the base weight and 1 stack and it's more than enough to keep the front down on the same plow.
The 285 is the utility version of the 1085, so it's pretty close in weight. Not sure exactly, but our 285 tips the scales somewhere around 10,000. The 1600 is just over 7,000. Maybe 7300 or so. The 285 is a pretty stout tractor, and fairly nimble as well. I do like using the 285 for cutting & baling hay. I prefer raking with either the 1600 or the 1855 when it's hot out because it has a canopy to keep the sun off my head. That one pushes 14,000 the way we have it suited up so if the feilds are wet, I try to stay out of them with it.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
