Summary
The Agriweld Weight is a multipurpose implement and is designed to fit any
tractor by use of a front linkage. Designed and manufactured by Agriweld in
Great Britain, it has several main uses.
As a ballast weight the AGRIWELD Weight adds 1000 kg, 1200 kg, 1500 kg and
2000 kg to the tractor front end and assists in utilising the full power of the
tractor whilst in the field and balances the tractor whilst moving heavy loads on
the road.
The lower and wider curved profile of the AGRIWELD weight is much safer than
some models available. It is clearly visible to the driver, down both the near and
off side front of the tractor. It is fitted with a central, vertical red marker, which
is also a constant reminder to the driver that the weight is on the front. This
marker can also be used as a centre marker in the field.
The integral toolbox is a good size and can be used to store tools, wearing parts
etc., and aids the safety of the driver in providing a place to store clutter from the
cab floor.
