When I hired people to do hoe or bobcat work, they did more damage to my yard than they did work. 4 Years ago I bought a Terramite T5C for my yard work. It has power steering, only weighs 3100 pounds. I can lift about 1000 pounds which puts too much weight on the front wheels and removes it from the rear. I'm not a fan of putting ballast in a tire which will someday rust my rims. No wheel weights made for my tractor. My solution, which works like a variable ballast is making bar bells. Each wheel or bucket weighs 75 pounds. All I want to move. As you can see, moving the ballast all the way back, takes a lot of weight off the front wheels. But a load on the scoop and it's sweet:) Don't forget to pull the weight in before you dump a heavy load or you will go for a ride.
Make a bar bell or grab a log for ballast. Works well for me. George
