Now that is the way to do it.Originally posted by dgutz View Posttractor supply companies. those counter-weights they hang on the front of the tractor. if you are lucky they will have some old ones setting out by the broken down tractor with weeds growing around them. you can take them for real cheap. then find a great place on the way home to drop them off and pick them up on the next round. this is what i did in my pre-tige days. worked like a champ.

I thought I was creative. This idea tops anything that I have thought about to modify my wake.

How much do those things weigh? Curious.Originally posted by da.bell View PostNow that is the way to do it.

Then when they get done they will get stuck in some warehouse somewhere for 40 years.Originally posted by ragboy View PostI just got an email from troy @ pop. He said the military cleaned him out with an order of 20k lbs of bags to test helicopters. He is going to try to get my order out, so I have by this weekend.
Helicopter's don't make wakes, do they?Be excellent to one another.

Hey, I have a pair of 450 lb weights on the back of my tractor, but they're kinda bulky. I'd have to use the hydraulics to get them in my boat.
What if I found a hull and mounted the tractor inside of it? It weighs about 10,000 lbs. and it's got a PTO...all I'd need to do is get shaft to attach to the PTO, get a tow point on the rollbar and rig a trim tab to the box blade.
Yeah, I know, it's kinda ghetto, but imagine the wake on that thing.

Hey dog you have really got me excited I'm going out this weekend to look for a good used tractor only maybe not quite so big.Originally posted by dogbert View PostHey, I have a pair of 450 lb weights on the back of my tractor, but they're kinda bulky.

Cool. I don't know what I'd do without mine. I had no yard at the lake and 300 truck loads later, I've got a nice green lawn. We're always finding ways to use the tractor around the neighborhood, whether it's to compact trash in the neighborhood dumpster or fixing our neighborhood jetty.Originally posted by onevalkyrie View PostHey dog you have really got me excited I'm going out this weekend to look for a good used tractor only maybe not quite so big.
Mine's a 1973 Case Construction King. It's only 48 Hp, but it's got enough torque to snap it's own frame.

This sounds better I was afraid maybe they had quit or could no longer get their steel shot or something. I will definitely be contacting them next week. Thanks again Ragboy.Originally posted by ragboy View PostI just got an email from troy @ pop. He said the military cleaned him out with an order of 20k lbs of bags to test helicopters.

Sounds to me like maybe your overloading it a little bit. Remember you can only overload you TIGE not your tractor.Originally posted by dogbert View PostCool. I don't know what I'd do without mine.
