This is your best bet (wheel weights) and better than the other option: Build a bracket with a basket and bolt it to the front axle. Then fill the basket with 4-6 concrete blocks. BTDT Wheel weights are much better and be sure the wheel is dished in rather than dished out. Steers much easier with weights with the weights close to the spindle rather than dished out away from it (them). The slower you go the more the disc sinks into the ground and hence deeper it cuts. The higher the angle the less penetration but greater the soil disturbance (what you are discing for). Weights make a huge difference. Also, if you have any hills around, driving up a hill with a light front end can be deadly. Fergie is a tough little sucker. Have had a TO-20, MF 35 and MF 35 deluxe. Liked them all. Had two with the Continental 4 banger gas and one with the 3 cyl Perkie diesel. They (at least the diesel) have the torque curve setup so that it is lower at pto rpm than below it. So when the going gets rough and the engine would otherwise want to load up requiring you to down shift a gear, the torque increases and you don't need the gear.
