OK OK , I'm new at this discussion game. I'm also new at raising crops and owning equipment. I have a small Kubota tractor that is very light on its feet. When I load the bucket, I lose traction. The wheel is connected by a small circle of bolts in the center of the wheel. There is a circle of bolt holes (app. 3/4 inch) outside the center circle but inside the wheel outer edge. How do I make weights to go on this wheel? The local dealer says because the tractor is so old, 1975, weight kits aren't around for it. A friend says make a from and fill it with concrete. This would require having two rings to make a donut to fill. Is there a better way to weigh the rear end down? I have a small box on the drawbar that is full of railroad iron. Do I just add to that, or build weights on the rear wheels. The last question is, do you guys answer questions about imports or am I wasting my time? LOL Thanks. Charles Upton Houlton, Maine
