Adjustable Tractor Weights
 ✖  |
When field conditions or extra loads require more traction, Greg Van Zanten of Colton, S. D., knows how to get it. He's outfitted his tractor with a set of "sliding" tractor weight brackets that let him shift 1,200 lbs. from the front-end of the tractor back near the rear wheels for extra traction.
The adjustable brackets which bolt directly to the tractor frame, are made of 1/2-in. flat iron welded into the shape of a "T" for hanging the weights. Four holes in the top of each "T" match holes in the tractor frame, and a bracket is attached to each side of the tractor. A long bolt through the weights locks them together as a set. The weights can be transferred in minutes back to the standard front-end bracket.
