Tractor Front Weights – Direct from the Manufacturer
A front weight is much more than just a counterbalance – it’s an essential component that significantly enhances performance and efficiency in agricultural operations. Especially modern tractors equipped with powerful rear hydraulics and heavy implements require a precisely matched front weight to properly distribute the tractor’s own weight and balance the axle load effectively.

Applications for Tractor Front Weights
Optimal Ballasting – in the Field and on the Road
A high-quality front weight is essential in modern agriculture. Especially for high-horsepower tractors, the right front-mounted weight offers clear advantages – both in fieldwork and transport. The right design and build enhance efficiency across all operations.
Common Uses for Front Weights:
-
Fieldwork with Heavy Rear Implements:
When using cultivators, seed drills, or slurry tanks, a front weight helps relieve the front axle. This stabilizes the tractor, reduces wheel slippage, and ensures optimal power transfer to the ground.
-
Transport on Roads:
When hauling loads, a front weight improves steering stability and increases safety on public roads.
-
Front Loader Operations:
During heavy lifting with the front hydraulics, the front weight acts as a counterbalance – preventing tipping and reducing strain on the front axle.
-
Combined Use with Rear Weights:
Thanks to standardized CAT 2 mounts, the same weight can also be used on the rear – providing true added value through flexible mounting options.
Tenwinkel offers front weights in a variety of designs, from compact models up to heavy-duty versions reaching 3,000 kg. All weights are manufactured in Germany and are available at short notice – as kits, individual units, or series solutions.
Whether concrete, reinforced concrete, or cast iron – we provide technically and economically sound solutions for every application.
