Kubota MX5100HST 4x4

That was an interesting thread. The counterweight I’m getting is a homemade block of metal with lift pins. The seller thinks it’s closer to 2,000lbs. If I got the tires filled my current box would be enough.

 

Just pictures...

 

Remember that fluid in the tires does NOT relieve any weight off of the front axle!
I got all of my lead from tire shops they all save it. Melted it, scooped out the steel and poured it in.

 

Correct...only weight added behind the fulcrum point (rear axle) will relieve the front axle of any burden

T.Jeff Veal what is your loader number?
I am hoping the 844kg over 1850 pounds the front axels are heavier in MX models

 

I think it's LA513...IIRC...MX models definitely have heavier axles.

 

Lookin awesome Jim!!

 

Picking up my new tractor weight. It’s a block of cast iron with 3 point attachment.

 

It’s a mystery. The seller claims 2k
It made the Tacoma pretty squirrely at 70mph banging the bump stomps on overpasses
It should keep the Kubotas rear tires pinned to the ground.

 

Mission accomplished

 

No problem

 

I was curious about what the weight was originally used on and I think I found it.
