Today went out and bought some suitcase type tractor 100# weights.
They are off of a "WHITE" brand tractor.
I got them for $45 each, was this a decent deal?

.45 cents a pound basically.

 

Sounds like a real good deal to me, i priced 500lbs of weights for my tractor and they where $1.00 a pound.

 

Yeah thats a good deal. we have priced a few tractors in the last few weeks Mostly McCormic and Case IH.
both were about 1.00 a pound for the weights.
We just bought a MXM 130 fully loaded for a great deal.
DM01

 

Bought 1100 lbs worth.

 

That was a steal. I have heard of some getting weights for 75c and they were happy. Are they the ones that have a bolt on the bottom to clamp then down to the braket? We have some like that are they are a PITS, we ended up putting a bar through the top and using them for more weight on the arms for the rear.

 

I paid .50 a pound last November. Course, steel has gotten out of control since.
I kind of regreted not getting calcium, but oh well.

 

Checked Ebay?

New Tractor Adds Options for Row-Crop Farmers - 06 October 2003

McCormick introduces the MTX200, a 195-hp workhorse powered by the new generation, six-cylinder, 24-valve electronic Cummins QBS engine.


McCormick Moves into 200-hp Plus Power Range - 10 November 2003

McCormick International USA introduces the ZTX Series of tractors ranging from 230 hp to 280 hp. The ZTX series uses the Cummins QSC 24-valve, 8.3L engine, one of the most powerful engines on the market meeting Tier II / Stage 2 emission requirements. The Cummins engine is matched with an 18-forward, 8-reverse full-power shift transmission with a steering column mounted power shuttle with park feature. The ZTX offers five hydraulic remotes and produces 40 gpm of hydraulic flow.

I think my next one might have to be one of these.

Or just the MTX 115

 

But the perkins engine has been good to me
