Wheel weights question.

[Cubfarmall]

Hi all,
I was wondering how much of a difference wheel weights would make for plowing dirt with a moldboard plow?

guess it depends what your soil is like, , many try to dig to china, there is not much out there that needs to planted lower than 6 " deep

Clay base soil here, weights are tremendous help

The rule of thumb taught to me many years ago is never try to plow deeper than half the width of the plow. So yes 6 inches is the max at which a cub should plow. Can't say anything about wheel weights. Never tried to plow without them. Vern

Rear weights are a huge plus when plowing in any type soil.

I haven't plowed with the Cub since I added the second set of rear weights, but with the disc they seem to be an asset. Plus I never thought a Farmall looked right without at least one set on the rear,

Helps holding your tractor down on the ground....Extra traction in heavy soil[clay type soil] Same going with plowing snow....

I agree
