On my Case 485 with FEL I use a 7' wide cross cut disc that I would guess weighs in at 2-3k. Its rated for 100 hp tractors but the case will pull it if not going to deep. My other main use is for counter weight when using the ratchet rake on my FEL for clearing brush. I have the front tires foam filled and have slime in the rears. I would like to have more ballast when not hooked to the disc and just using the FEL. I am thinking about adding water to the rears and in conversation with my father he brought up the point that when using the disc for weight, the combo may be to much weight and cause potential breaking issues in the planetary etc on the rear. I do not se it being an issue myself but I would like to see what the brain trust here thinks. I am basically using it like a little bull dozer when doing this type of work.
