I think that you would be okadding more weights. The extra weight that would be wearing on the bearings would be minimal. I was refering to the people saying they were adding more to keep the front on the ground heading up hills. That is beyond dangerous. I guess if you want to do it go right ahead. No amount of roll cage/bar/rops will keep that thing from burying you. It might make your rolled tractor worth less on your estate sale if front weights had been used. Tractor rollovers are the number one cause of farm fatality. If the hill is that steep, park the darn tractor and get a string trimmer or something. I love running tractors as much or more than anyone here, but when the wheels leave the ground thats just too much. Say alive to run it tomorrow. tere may not be tractors in Heaven (hope I'm wrong). Have a safe one.
