Austin860 82 #1 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I'm new to john deere, but I got a 1112 with a loader and some rear weights. I need more weight in the back tho. I'm making a weight box, and I'm wondering what's the best thing to fill it with? Thanks Edited March 13, 2014 by Austin860 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #2 Posted March 13, 2014 I would fill it with either gravel or better yet solid concrete blocks you can get at Home Depot. Those are your two best options for weight/cost ratio. Did you do the trade for your D180?? You could bring the John Deere to the meet and greet so long as it is parked in the proper location...... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Austin860 82 #6 Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks, how do I post photos from my mobile? And yes Steve, unfortunately the d has left. But I'm really liking this john deere. I'm either filling the box with concrete or small gravel. I'll keep you updated, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #7 Posted March 14, 2014 To find out more info on your "new" John Deere, try www.weekendfreedommachines.com. It's the place to go for the older JD lawn & garden tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOC in Kentucky 178 #8 Posted March 14, 2014 I filled mine with 8 x 50# sand bags. Then I detach it on a HF four wheel dolly so it can be easily moved around the shop when not in use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin860 82 #9 Posted March 31, 2014 Actively trying to trade this tractor for a farm tractor or a smaller tractor with nice attachments. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
