Orchard Style Wheel Weights.
Our most popular weights for loader equipped tractors.
These weights were originally designed for use in orchards where tree damage could occur if the weights extended outside the rim of the tractor. They have become extremely popular for use on loader equipped utility tractors. We now provide more of these orchard weights for loader tractors than we do for use in actual orchards.
Depending on your tractor model, we have these orchard weights available in single versions (non-stacking) starting at 300 pounds each. These weights top out at 500 pounds each and are more than sufficient for most utility tractors.
These weights benefit from a substantial reduction in mounting hardware as compared to stacking weights. Despite being heavier than typical stacking weights, most of our customers find them much easier to install. If you have any other piece of equipment to hold the weights level with your tractor wheel, installation can usually be completed in 15 minutes per wheel.
- Easier to install than stacking weights.
- Requires much less mounting hardware.
- Won’t typically extend beyond the rim of your tractor.
- Color matched to most tractors.
- Weights painted only in gray primer are also available. This allows you to custom match your machine.
- Usually in stock and fast shipping!
- Mounting hardware available for most models.
