Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out, and they really make a difference. At my place in the mountains, I have a huge rock that I tried to pull and I'd just spin all four wheels..... now with the weights, it just walks away with it.
Maybe I'll enter a tractor pull.:rolleyes:

This is what I came up with for my B2630. I believe a lighter compact tractor than yours. It works great and the 40 pound weights are easy to handle. It is amazing how much you can push with a little rear weight!

Very nice! Clean setup, but it would interfere with my backhoe.
I know what you mean about the 40lb weights being easy to handle.... the 75lbs on the rear of mine are about the limit that I can wrangle into place by myself, without risking pinched fingers, strained back, etc..
It's hell getting old.:mad:;)

Very nice job. Looks clean and simple. Is there any way to get some more pics. Whay did you use for the weight hanger and the up rights. Looks like 1" angle.

It's too bad Kubota doesn't make rear wheel weights for the smaller tractors. They are a good way to add more weight to your tractor safely. Most manufactures do have them.
