MAD MARK 74 #1 Posted November 4, 2018 Made a front weight for my work tractor. Noticed when bagging full leaves the front is a little light in the steering. This is even with filled front tires. 42.5# SS filled with lead and can still use the mule drive. 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,742 #2 Posted November 4, 2018 That is a slick design Mark. I noticed that the front end of my son’s 418-C was pretty light too when the bagger was getting full of grass and debris. Obviously you have to be able to use the mule drive to power the deck/bagger. I like your design in that you can do both—front end ballast and functional mule drive. Well done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,330 #11 Posted November 5, 2018 I can see how that might feel a little light in the front! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
