Got a little project going on, and used the load lifter for the 318. Also bought 6 pretty new suitcase weights.
Have to show them off a bit.
The front bumper is supposed to hold 6 weights, but my new ones seem a little fatter than others, so it only held 5. Unfortunately, it makes the front of the tractor look like a (insert your favorite state to bash) girl's smile.
There are only 20 4x8x16 blocks on the first load and the 3PH jacked them up like they weren't there (at 1200 RPM). A mere 17 and the bug killer on the second load. Wonder if I could have gotten them all in one load?
And yes, the Ag lugs did finally mark up the lawn just a bit with that small load.
I think with only 5 suitcase weights on the front, I should get some wheel weights.
The 318 didn't seem to notice the additional load, and the brakes were holding very well as I backed the load up an incline.
