[Thomas5060]

Evening folks, just wondering if anyone on here knows of or has wheels weights to suit our 265, she’s on 30inch rear wheels

Would water loading the tyres be any help ? personally I,v never been a fan of weight on or in the back wheels simply because the front axle is still the fulcrum, a cement weight on the arms would be my way BUT thats only if you dont need the trailer with you as well.

My sore back is an expert on lifting the feckin things.
Never did find any to suit that type of wheel. Ended up with newer type and swapping the dishes.
I think I’ve got a set of front weights in that style

Could you get a set of PAVT wheels for your 265 think they came in about 12cwt each, must be a few at breakers.

He mainly wants the weight for when he’s ploughing as she is short of grip, and water filling would work but a pain to let water out when we go into the bog for topping etc

Will look into them, wouldn’t that add slightly over a tonne to her?

I'd suggest worse case senecio you will have to drill a few holes either in rims or weights to suit

Or a set of 12x36 rims and tyres

How does that help? ?

 

[Henarar]

I have a few sets here
how far apart are the holes

Do they only fit 30 inch

 

[Henarar]

Do they only fit 30 inch

no Idea what they fit
it all depends on the hole spacing I would have thought

Just checked there now and they are 13 and a quarter inches

Will you get enough weight on it with wheel weights? What about a pair of 13.6x36s filled with water and run them at the lowest pressure you can? Would be quicker to change wheels than fit or remove weights.

 

[Hotbed]

If you go to 13.6x36 could you not water ballast and then put duals on for bog work, tbh it’s only an hour of your life to water ballast the wheels you’ve got and half that to get rid of it.

 

[Thomas5060]

Does anyone know if 13.6x38 will fit a 265?

 

[SMID]

Aye the cab sits the same height as a 290

Should do, same height as 16.9 34, which according to my measurements fit, I will know for sure once I get round to swapping them over

 

[Thomas5060]

Mite get a set of 13.6x38, same centres as the 7610 so I can swap wheels between them if I do want to plough with it in future

Thomas's cab sits higher than mine so be even more room
