Mike: Three items that lower that center of graviety; wheel tread, solid wheel weights and liquid weight. You set that H on 72" rear wheel centers and it will be more stable than a utility at 64". I personally would never run a row crop at less than 72" centers. Then add the weight, liquid weight of course is the bast as it's closer to the ground. Wheel weights are good, just a bit harder to get as much weight. I realize today a lot of folks don't require or want all that weight, all the time. Here would be my approach, buy suit case weights as used on 06, 56, etc tractors. Since your going to dish the wheels out and go with 72" centers, fabricate two racks to clamp on front side of each axle carier. Fabricate them in such a way the entire suitcase weight is below top level of axle caries and wide enough to hold 6-100# weights on each axle carrier. Quick to put on and take off, being ahead of axle they will give a wee bit of front end weight. If you fabricate in such a way, top of weights are level with top of axle carier, that weight will be lower than wheel weights. I am starting to build these for my 140. I plan on using them for plowing and disking, then I can drop them while doing row crop cultivation. I'm only building mine for 4 weight on each side, and my main concern is traction. I really don't want to bother with chloride, very likely you don't either. If I were going full out bread and butter farming, yes I'd say go chloride for smaller tractors at least.

Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead!
