Front & Rear Weights
John Deere front and rear weights are essential for keeping equipment properly balanced. By adding weight where it is needed most, these components help maintain stability while operating in varying field conditions. This balance supports smoother handling and greater confidence when using your equipment.
Increased Efficiency in the Field
By reducing slippage and maximizing stability, front and rear weights from Koenig Equipment contribute to more productive work. The added control helps minimize wasted time and effort, ensuring your equipment performs at its highest level.
Balancing Your Machine with Front and Rear Weights
Front weights balance heavy rear implements and keep steering responsive, while rear weights balance a front loader and help put power to the ground. The right setup depends on the work you do most.
Weights attach to a bracket or carrier made for your machine, so check that you have the right bracket before you add weights. Zero turn mowers use their own weight kits made for each model.
Your operator's manual lists how much ballast your machine needs and where to put it. Adding weight beyond that does not help and can overload tires and axles.
Order online through John Deere's parts store with Koenig as your dealer, then pick it up at your Koenig store or have it shipped. If you are not sure you have the right part, call or stop by our parts counter with your model and serial number and we will look it up for you.
Front and Rear Weights FAQ
Do I need front weights on my tractor?
If you run a heavy rear mounted implement and the front end feels light or steering is poor, front ballast is likely needed. Check your operator's manual for the recommended amount.
Do I need a bracket to add front weights?
Usually yes. Most front weights hang on a weight bracket made for your tractor, so check for one before ordering weights.
How do I find the right part number?
Look up your machine by model and serial number in the John Deere Parts Catalog, or give our parts counter your serial number and we will find it for you.
