If you come get them you can have them for free. Just remember the more weight you put in that bucket or box on the back, the lighter the front will get. after a point you will have a hard time steering it. It will just want to slide instead of go were you want. Mine, with about 100lb in it is just rite.

Thanks, jbollis, for the offer on the weights. I'm in RI, so not really worth the drive to PA. I have a line on a set of Cub Cadet weights here in RI for a reasonable price. Right now I have 40# of dumbbell weights and a five-gallon bucket of sand in the back, so that is probably around 100#. I'll add another seventy or so with the second set of wheel weights and then perhaps more if I fill the tires. How much of a difference do you think the aggressive treads on your front tires make in terms of limiting sideways slide? That's another issue I want to overcome. Do the treads affect steering on grass in the summer?
