Hello all, I was thinking today about adding weight to the rear of my 149 and wanted opinions. First, my rear tires are filled. I was thinking of cutting down a 5 gallon bucket to sit on my rear fixed drawbar or "hitch" and also mounting to the holes on the frame where a rear lift would go. Then filling the bucket with quick crete. I'm thinking this would add roughly 50-60 pounds of weight. My questions are, is this enough weight to make much difference with traction or almost no difference? Also, the weight would be sitting and attached to the rear drawbar and can that amount of weight possibly break the bolts holding the drawbar to the transmission housing? I don't want to add headaches! I'm not slipping all over the place but I figure more traction is always better if I can get it. Thanks for your thoughts, Mark
