Broadmoor weight problem solved


ehertzfeld

Recommended Posts

I got a blower for my 75 Broadmoor, I had made concrete wheel weights and a small metal box to fill with broken cinder blocks. Even with that I still have a hard time getting traction. When I got the 65 Broamoor, it had a stock rear weight. I got to thinking............ and this is what I came up with.

The box looks like a great idea. I guess I got too much lead already in my butt, I don't have any traction problems with my 60's Broadmoor=filled tires and chain

Here are the pic's of it on the tractor.

I share it with three other houses. Two houses have hills them selves. One is not that long but it's off the main hill. Elon

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
