    Can't pass up that good a deal if you have no better use for the gift cards. Always good to have extra

    This worked great hauled 2x the norm with it. 14 bags on the 3 pt. and 12 on the loader. :D

    I never got the forks for mine, I just used the bucket. I have a rear weight but never had to use it with my loaded tires. I also think my hard cab helps keep it planted.

    It was recommended I did that, But I passed. I should have. I didn't think it would have been that beneficial. I didn't think they would actually weigh that much loaded. Figured wheel weights would be about the same?

    I'm not sure how much the tires weight is loaded? I took a tire off once for the hydro filter service I did, and couldn't lift or budge the tire to put it back on.

    I'm disappointed I spent 300 big ones on the rear 3pt ballast and have never used it. Maybe I'll get the front forks some day? I really want that rear backhoe attachment :makeitrain"

    Our Max 22 HST 4x4 has never really needed wheel weights.
    We leave the 3 point mower on the back for added weight...
    Years ago we had a Kubota 6100 4x4 and all the tires were filled.....That helped that little tractor a lot.
    Our max has the "Fat" all terrain type tires on all four.

    I'll be using it anytime I need to haul stuff. Tractor is so much more stable when its lifting from the rear.

    We believe so, she gets a video call with the docs tomorrow. She was looking at her Lahey online patient portal and she "thinks" she's OK but she's unsure on some of the terminology. The docs were going to be looking at the pathology report last week, didn't hear anything.
