I just bought a 4710 with a MX6 rotary mower. Everything is great except that I need some weights on the front. Is there anyplace that sells the weights for the front except the JD dealer?

Thanks,
Mike

4710 Suitcase weights

Suitcase weights for my Ford mount onto the bumper, which is part of the tractor and I imagine the weights would not be standard enough to attract after-market manufacturing. I did a bit of web searching and couldn't find anything.

There is a company in India that seems to manufacturer generic weights and perhaps rails to go with them. There wasn't a N.A. rep listed though. A rail designed for particular weights probably could be mounted onto a bumper with a bit of fabrication. If the tractor has a loader, I'd keep in mind that suitcase weights often interfere with loaders. Front wheel weights are another option I suppose. ....
