I own a JD 790, a no frills 2WD version, I mow 3 acres pulling a 5 ft Frontier Grooming mower. The mower weighs 611 pounds and I have 4 JD front weights (42 lbs each) on the tractor. Other than the obvious, how does one know that the proper amount of weight is on the front of the tractor for any particular rear-mounted implement? The tractor front tires rise slightly when lifting the mower but do not leave the ground. I have not flipped over but I am well aware of Murphy's Law given the right set of circumstances. I do not wish to be too heavy either.
