[mattydraw]

What's best type of front weight block concrete or metal??seen a very tidy metal one made by rite engineering.

agriweld make some nice ones

I did mine out of carbon fibre. Strength but without the weight. Looks the Don too

depends whether you need a compact one or not. the rite eng ones do look tidy tempted myself

I'd recommend a long wait

I did mine with tartan paint so people can see it at junctions..
And get a set of sky hooks to park it out the way on.

we have 1500kg Sumo weight blocks.Has plenty of room in the front for a toolbox & spares .

Are yields/prices good enough for a £1500 weight ? We sell loads of 1000kg concrete composite weights £625 delivered its only a weight for goodness sakes..

good enough for people to spend £110k+ on a tractor

I've got an agriweld one that has been on a JD 8360 for a week. Tractor sold and weight no longer required, it's a tombstone mounted one with one tool box. Open to offers

I've seen that hillbilly tractor at York machinery sale

Someone please educate me in what is so great about these weight blocks? Are they really worth what you pay from them? Isn't there far cheaper alternatives? They are worth more than my girlfriends car!

I don't know why people don't make a box themselves then chuck in what they want.thats what I've done.you don't need a massive amount of weight when it's stuck 3ft foreward of the front of tractor on linkage

Going back to original post, metal (filled one) is better, as it is more dense and therefore weighs more than a concrete one the same size. Therefore for a certain weight, a metal one would be smaller.

With equal volume, water is lighter than concrete, which is lighter than granite, which is lighter than metal. Finally max density and weight is dark matter [emoji23]

Do you have anything around the 600kg mark?

Depleted uranium would be better...
