Alright, where do you guys get these things!? I need 10 of them and I think I have a better shot of finding a unicorn.

What's worse is trying to find 10 of the same type. Any help would be appreciated. All I could muster is finding 4 weights from a MF.

 

Try an auction yard... Ag dealers are going to want .75-1.00 a lbs... (Unless you can find older style weights that someone does not want.) You should be able to find the weights for much cheaper, if you look... I wouldn't pay over .50 a lbs.. (Actually I would pay half that..)

I bought mine from a place around here for $45 each for 100lb White weights (mid 80's tractor).

I am convinced these are the easiest weights I have seen to mount. A simple 5/8" piece of steel plate and they hang without falling off. Simple as it gets!

 

I don't know if it would be allowed but could someone use Olympic 45lb. plates on the front of a sledpulling truck? Just thinking aloud since I have quite a few of those... lol

 

Well maybe you should call me i have a few! But you never answer my phone calls !

 

I've got plenty of 65 and 88lb Allis Chalmers weights...but I'm quite a drive

I typically get $45/ea for the 88's, and $50 for the bracket!

Find a Farmer. We have them on the farm laying around.

 

I completely deserve that. Although I did make an attempt and got your voicemail. I PROMISE I WILL CALL YOU TONIGHT.

 

I do have some weights, but the wife might get made if I use her's for ballast in the truck

Chris, this is tempting... I am a BIG AC fan. Dad has a B and a WD-45. I would rather have AC weights than anything, but you are a bit far off. You would think working for a 2nd tier supplier of AGCO one could get weights...

Yeah, but since you guys can't make money selling crops, you make up for it by selling tractor weights

 

Maybe you should come see our collection and pick up some weights then What part of Missery, err I mean Missouri, you in??

Who do you work for?

type in suurcase weights on ebay theres a few on there

 

Maybe...... Thats why I am studying to be a network admin.

But really most of the time it just depends on what we paid for them and how bad someone wants them. Isn't that how the world works.

 

Gates Corporation - We build some of the hydraulic assemblies that go on their tractors. I live right smack in the middle of it, just on the northern edge of the Lake of the Ozarks. And with all this snow and ice it has been missery...

I went to the "Gathering of the Orange" up in Booneville, MO last year. That was crazy they had them tractors for as far as the eye can see.

I was the sys admin for the plant before I got a demotion, I mean promotion to production planner. Trust me, stick to farming , I'm the one on here groveling for weights.

 

Gates huh?? Heard of them

We've got about a hundred or so tractors...maybe 120. Not a bad little collection!
