gattonde 1 #1 Posted June 17, 2009 Hi all, I've been putting my C160 with FEL to full use lately and have been wondering how much weight I could add to the back with the 1 1/8" axles. I picked up some suitcase weights from third rock during last's years big show and can easily vary how much weight I add. I built a set up with angle iron bolted to the frame of the FEL. The weights are just to the rear of the tractor. I could of made it farther back, but was concerned about weights hitting ground when tractor is tilted back. I have put up to 300 lbs on and the rear still lift's when I get a full bucket of dirt. I was wondering how much everyone has been using. Thanks, Gatton, Southern New Jersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-Series14 15 #3 Posted June 17, 2009 I have 8 40lb. suitcase weights on a weight rack in the back and the Toro black wheel weights on my C-161 FEL plus the weight of me on it, been that way for years. Still going strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
