need more weight on the front

[radu]

Hi all

i have a JD6195M that i'm going to use with a couple of heavy mounted implements. The tractor has a full row of 18 waffers/900kg on the nose (no front linkage) but the front wheels still bounce up at the slightest bump when turning at the headlands with a 5 meter mounted lemken heliodor. i reckon 200-300kg more would do.

What options do i have? Is there some sort of extension available that would allow me to add more waffers, either to the side or in front of the existing ones? Front wheel weights? Water in the front wheels?

My 8050 has extensions that bolt into the frame/body for another set of weights split between both sides of the nose

Front linkage probably the best solution. I would imagine there is a limit to how much weight the tombstone can handle.

On my extensions they bolt to the body not the tombstone

They do a 1200k block I think it is

Local jd on a big feeder around here has a full set of wafers then another full set under them I thought I had a picture of it but haven’t sorry

ben burgess manufacture a weight extension box moves your weights forward and gives you somewhere to keep spares or fill with extra weight. Fraction of cost of a front linkage sorry am on holiday or would post a picture of ours on 6215r

would love to see some pictures of your setup

good point, i wonder if the tombstone could handle more weight

i don't have a front linkage, unfortunately

i tried looking that up online but with no success. sounds like a good idea though...

I’ll get better photo tomorrow but you can kind of see one half the extended frame in that photo

They do these blocks that fit straight onto the tombstone

Bigger tractor or smaller implement.

That's the one just bolts onto tomb stone

You don’t need front linkage for them blocks

got it. But first i would need to check how much is enough because they aren't cheap..

Also don’t put water in front tyres. Must have antifreeze or calcium chloride added

 

[Andrew]

Weight blocks tend to be around £1 / kg so one of them big blocks will be £14-1500 I’m guessing.

You can get a front linakge for £500 more to move your existing weight forwards, and it’d be an awfull lot more versatile and easier to drop the weights on and off.

 

[Brisel]

Second hand front linkage would be best as you’ll move the centre of gravity forwards and can put as much on as you need to. And drop it off quickly when you don’t need it.

Fill the tyres up with water!
Your weight is we’re you want it then on the ground.
