Probably only uses it for a sickle mower.

Filled tires don’t work well for a pulling tractor application. A friend of mine and I did that a few years back. We hung just a little over 20,000 pounds of weight on a 1954 super M that had a creeper gear. It was for a semi antique unlimited weight class. We spun out and were second behind a 820 with more weight. I would bet that tractor has a creeper or potato gear too. Makes my back hurt thinking about it

Somebody should count the weights and give us an amount.

It’s a little difficult because the pictures not super clear on my phone but I came up with around 9200 to 9600 pounds l can see. I would bet there’s a weight rack above the drawbar too. Not exactly sure what the Deere weighs weigh but the IH small handle weights are pretty close to 100#.

If he looses the winning lottery ticket he can always sell those suitcase/wheel weights.

I've never seen one with that much weight. Thanks for sharing those pictures @Dr Maphesto and @Ironhorse

This was the super M we pulled way back when. You can’t see the double stack of 100 pound hand weights between the rear wheels. There was just enough space between the lower weight rack to get the hook in the hitch. I think we had some 75 pound weights hung under rear axle too.
