Yeah, if it's $65 for all four, it's a bargain and my vote is for you to go for it. It will make a difference in your traction. As posted elsewhere, what kind of tractor? When you start adding weight via a loader and wheel weights to the front and back, you want to make sure the torsion tube bolts are tight. You also should add truss gussets to take the stress on the underside of the tractor - search the archives for advice on those. I know this sounds like a lot to do for someone who thought the weights might not be worth it but it's better than a broken tractor. The weights are certainly easier to add and remove than fluid ballast and, in my opinion, any tractor that doesn't have at least one set, preferably two, is incomplete.
