[QUOTE="SLE, post: 423575, member: 3889"] This is the biggest issue. These compact tractors are simply too coupled up and frankly they are light in comparison to the iron of years past. Without rear weight, I would be surprised if you can can get to half of the rated loader capacity. without any rear weight a 1000 lb pallet of fertilizer was sketchy on my CT445 which has a loader rating of 2,600 lbs at full lift at the pin. a ballast box works best as it provides better balance and leverage than wheel weights or fluid, the downside is your 3pt is then tied up with the ballast box. I just about always have something on the 3 pt so I went fluid which definitely helps. [/QUOTE]
