Suitcase weights are a simple tool with a big purpose—safety! They help prevent rollovers, improve traction, and help attachments dig deeper into the ground. Hang these cast iron weights on a 3-point weight rack (like our VersaBracket), or hang them from an attachment.

Available in both 41 and 70 lb increments in either black or green. Both denominations are the same thickness, and have identical slots for hanging.

Suitcase Weight Highlights

Suitcase weights add 3 benefits to your tractor

Suitcase weights on 3-point weight rack

1. Increased safety—your tractor is out of balance

You need to counter a load on the front of your tractor with weight on the rear. Or else you might tip over.

So if you use a loader, you need counterweight.

Don’t become the next statistic ☠️

Tractor rollovers are the leading cause of death on farms every year.

Alongside best operating practices, add ballast weight to help keep your tractor planted to the ground.

This can be a combination of suitcase weights, wheel weights, and liquid ballast.

2. Improved traction—more weight equals more grip

Get more power to the ground when you hang suitcase weights, providing more control in the worst conditions (like snow, ice, and mud).

3. Better performance—increase penetration

Your 3-point hitch has no down-pressure, so the only thing helping an attachment dig is its weight.

Aerators, pulverizers, cultivators, seeders, and plows can all dig deeper with the addition of suitcase weights.

How much counterweight do you need?

A good rule of thumb is to match your counterweight to your tractor’s lift capacity.*

*Once you hit a four series or larger, you won’t need as much counterweight as your tractor’s weight will help.

**Suitcase weights might not be able to provide all of your counterweight. You can also use wheel weights or loaded tires.
