The Physics and Math of Tire Ballast vs. Rear Ballast on Compact Tractors

In this video, I talk about the difference between tire ballast and rear ballast on compact tractors and explain why rear tire ballast wont help your front axle when lifting heavy payloads -- only true ballast behind the rear axle will. Followup: see this nice video by ‪@MessicksEquip‬ that demonstrates this very nicely with weights and wheel scales:    • Follow-up: Relieving your front axle ...   -- it's a great confirmation of the math and physics we discussed here.
