Suitcase Weights Universal Tractor Counterweight

USes for Suitcase Weights

Safety

To operate your Front End-Loader safely, you need counterweight on the rear of your tractor.

How much counterweight you need is model specific, and can often be found in your owner’s manual. We sell a 3-Point Weight Rack as well as Quick Hitch Weight Racks so you can hang a lot of weight in a small area. Using 70 lb weights and our racks, you can gain systems can gain you over 1,000 lb of counterweight.

We cover safety in a lot of our videos. But for a good overview, watch this video on tractor safety here.

Traction

Whether you have a John Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Massey, Mahindra, LS or any other tractor, if you run a front-end loader you should know that your tractor’s weight alone will not be enough to operate safely.

Along with increasing safety, suitcase weights can increase your traction in mud, snow, and ice. By hanging weight on the rear of your tractor you are increasing the weight your ground-engaging wheels, and providing yourself better traction.

Performance

A third way suitcase weights can be used is on ground-engaging 3-Point attachments, helping them penetrate easier into tough ground. These would be attachments like core plugger aerators, seeders, box blades, and discs.
