Do any of you that have a 1026R know if the optional front weight bracket interferes with the H120 loader
or the deluxe hood guard. In other words, if I am using a tiller and have weights on the front----do I have to remove the optional front bracket to put the loader on? Thanks!

I went with the Heavy Hitch weight bracket around $140 which attaches to required the JD quick hitch support brkt kit LVB26046 around $65. So it is just a matter of pulling 1 quick hitch rod that holds the weight brkt onto the quick hitch support brkts which never need to be removed for any other attachment.
So you can leave the Heavy Hitch weight bracket on the front with the loader? I'm assuming since it's so easy to take off, might as well just take it off, but curious.
Thanks!
Aren't your weights so close to the grille that they hit it? I think I can put mine on if I put them on from each side, but I was afraid of breaking the grille.
Bob,
Just curious, you said you had a 1026 ordered. Are 1026's still available?

Vern,
I am looking at getting the same bracket for my 1025R.. I like the cost and ability to hold the weights kind of our on the ends. My only concern is how well the weights stay on not having bar across the back to lock them on. Have you had any issues with weights bouncing off? I guess one could always clamp them together like you do on larger tractors.

I just used my Heavy Hitch weight bar this past weekend to counterweight my tiller. Works fantastic and I like that it takes 30 seconds to install or remove. The bar is a tight fit with the weights but works well at holding them in place.
Highly recommended if you have the front quick hitch (or even if you don't - the front brackets are comparatively cheap).
