Hey folks,
I'm a little thick headed sometimes, so humor me a little.
I move water tanks for my horses with my tractor. These are 1500 liter tanks on a 1 axle frame. It's next to impossible to maneuver them in place (unless straight in/straight out) when the ground is wet without ruining the area. It just crossed my mind that my tractor weighs 1300kg and the tanks are 1500 kg water plus tank, axle, and frame (1800-2000kg). If my tractor weighed equal or more, it should take care of the maneuverability problem right???? If so, is filling the tires and adding some rear axle weights the answer, or do I need to get some weight in the middle also?
Thanks,
Dave
