Extra front weight?

[davidroberts30]

Or get a 3m combi drill

 

[General-Lee]

There’s an 1150kg option that has an extra bit at the bottom

Isn’t there deeper again? The above was popular on 75’s.

I would fill the fronts full, it’s saves having the suspension riding on the stops with 2 ton hanging off the front when the drill is in work.

It totally transformed this, although the diff did squeak a bit when ploughing in wet conditions it had that much grip.

Just had a look and there is now an 1800kg option on the bigger R series. It’s not cheap though

That’s the price through parts though, would probably be a lot cheaper if ordered on a new machine

Wow, £1 a kilo out the window!

get a decent linkage and press for that price

 

[dannewhouse]

if £££ is short for the project instead of trying to mount 2 weights why not make a frame to mount the 1 weight further forwards? would be then comparable to 1 weight block on front linkage?
cheapest option fill fronts with water makes a hell of a difference, did this for a couple years to plough here.

im in a similar situation front links are not really an option for me, swap tractor more realistic! I have 360kg of plate weights plus 225kg wafer weights on in front again on an mf 3120 to combi drill and its fine going down road with 1/2 ton in. don't water ballast anymore now we have front weights

I know, I built my own weight for around £600

Is that not the new belly weight they launched last year at agritechnica, mounts under the rear of the tractor as a easier to attach wheel weight system

No thats a weight block, linkage mounting only though not direct to bolster.

No just a bigger one piece version of the big pack, can’t find a photo as I don’t think anyone if daft enough to buy one

 

[Rob Graham]

1800kg on 6250R

 

[Farmer-George]

I thought about retro fitting front linkage to push the weight out further but that wouldn't be cheap...
Yes a press would be good but that would require buying front linkage and a press!
I already have the extra weight so I'm thinking along the lines of @General-Lee and maybe using the 3 point linkage points to link 2 weights together somehow

What about ballast in the front wheels? Water is really cheap.

 

[marcot]

So to revamp this old thread ...I went with the front linkage option ...fitted this...

 

[marcot]

Then got carried away and dragged this out of the nettles....

 

[Nearly]

Keep count of how many times you use it.

 

[marcot]

Oh and made this so I can get the tools out of the cab ....

More than I imagined already ...
