[QUOTE="Mur Huwcun, post: 7452760, member: 33114"] Think of it this way, if you add counter weights intill with nothing on the loader the front wheels are hovering above the ground then the front axle only has to support the weigth you are going to lift. Now, if you manage to fit all the water in the ocean into the rear tyres it will not remove one ounce of loading off the front axle. The counter weight works because it is behind the rear axle utilising the rear axle as a pivot point. With ballasted wheels then when the tractor does lift the rear wheels the front axle is then support and pivot for the whole tractor, the loader, the load and the water. Way above what it should hold. That’s why 2wd tractors would snap the stub axles clean off. [/QUOTE]
