Hello new to the site but exited to get involved.Just a little info I am purchasing a new M6060 and think the rear wheel weights will go on the front wheels but does anyone know for sure should be the same as M6040 also I think. Any info would be appreciated.
M6060 front wheel weights

- Start date
Why??
If you feel that you need more weight for traction, just put some liquid in them. A lot cheaper than cast iron.

Check your owner's manual. Mine says DON'T put fluid in the front wheels. They don't give a reason, but I'd think it is because of the diminished air cushion when you fill the font tires with fluid.
I have a 260 lb front bumper that does a good job countering my brush hog on hills.

Does the manual say anything about adding wheel weights to the front?
The tires have plenty of cushion with fluid in the tires, I doubt that is the reason.
Well, the rear wheel weights would actually go on the rear wheels...

Hey guys thanks the info will have fluid in front but all I do is bushhog steep hills and need more weight . I will have 1/4 inch skid plate under it with brush guard so can't put front weights so looking at other options. By the way I live in Western NC. It's steep in some places.Thanks again.
Well, that helps. I don't think a M6060 will need any extra weight up front. But if I wanted to add weight to the front, I'd figure some way to use suitcase weights, build a custom bracket or something.... Loaded rear tires with rear wheel weights is going to added an awful lot of stability over all.
