RE: (ET) Wheel weights

["Pieter Litchfield" <pvcl plitch com>]

I have not used wheel weights, and have a rear weight box myself.  I would
think that not only would wheel weights instead of a box help the overall
length of the ET, but also wheel weights lower the center of gravity and 
get
the weight off the rear axle.  Given that the rear end is a standard garden
tractor assembly, and given that garden tractors were pretty small "back in
the old days", having all those batteries and a weight box might be more
than that old rear end was expecting.

Has anyone tried those wheel weight brackets that use standard barbell
weights?

Well;

The seasons about over and I know that somebody out there has
actually used these things. Any report for us?

Personally I have chains and a weight box(100 lbs in it). I have
absolutely no complaints about traction. However, I would like to
reclaim the 18 inches in back of me. I have run into a few items
while backing and the ET wins every time.

Stay Charged!
