Has anyone ever throw some weighs in the front of their mower to stop it from poppin wheelies? I know i could use a wheelie bar but im gonna be goin through a lot of deep mud so maybe it'd be easier to put some weight on the front wheels to try and keep it down. Feedback, suggestions, anything welcome, seriously... anything... tell me a joke if ya want

i found a weight that came off a tractor with a massive bagger on it so i assume its so it wont do wheelies when the baggers full, i actually have it on my tow tractor...now that i mention it i dont have pictures of that on here yet, i should get on that

hell yea, get a pic and post it on here so i can see it. and it works good? cus mines also a monster mower so its a LOT taller than stock which makes it easier to pop wheelies

yeah it works great, unless the tires wont spin for any reason then i dont have enough weight on the front end and i just wheelie as far as i need to take the tractor ill try to take some pics of it now, as long as i have enough light out there

slap some steel plates on there! haha. im worried about my monster getting stuck from the weight of it because im sure i added about 100lbs in steel from lifting it. good thing i got the car tires on there! i might take a hot chisel and take out 50% of the treads to make them grippy as hell. also planning on locking the rear end

Wheelies are going to be a problem on the monster/lifted mowers. You are raising the center of gravity way up, and that makes it easy to flip. Moving the rear axle back would help some.
Mine are stock height, with the front ended lowered a little. They will wheelie if you lean back, and spin the tires if you lean forward. But I also run high speed, so the lower height helps out. Doesn't seem to be a problem on the trails, maybe in deep mud I would have a issue.

Im not into popping wheelies anymore - I flopped my tractors over in places i really shouldnt have ( on concrete, in the woods) and was lucky enough not to get hurt , already have a folder going in the ER as it is with other injuries.
