And some argue the opposite. rear wheel weights are putting weight on the rear wheels only and not on the bearings of the tractor. Rear wheel weights do not swing back and forth and destroy the 3 pt lift and hydraulic safety valves due to the shock when traveling the tractor. Rear wheel weights do not raise up and cause the tractor to tip when on a critical incline that 3 point weights can do. Rear wheel weights DONT add pressure the to front, but dont remove pressure to the front. Rear wheel weights allow the 3 point to be used for something useful as its not tied up with a barrel swinging around. Nothing wrong with 3 pt ballast, but rear wheel weights help all the time, when plowing and doing all work and dont load the bearings down as its ""unsprung"" weight. And when moving round bales, a bale on the rear means you move two bales at a time, just be sure to load the rear first, and unload the rear last. Rear wheel weights are always ready and you dont have to go hook them up or take them off. So, rear wheel weights should be the first weights added for the tractors designed work life. Just another opinion from the peanut gallery.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
