Tractor Wheel Weights – More Efficiency on Any Terrain
Wheel weights are a proven solution for improving traction, driving stability, and axle load distribution – both in the field and on the road. They increase pulling power, reduce tire slippage, and enhance safety, especially when using heavy implements or operating front loaders. Our solid cast iron wheel weights provide effective ballast for nearly all common tractor models. They ensure even load distribution across both rear wheels – rugged, precision-fit, and direct from the manufacturer at a fair price-performance ratio.
Technical Benefits and Economic Advantages
-
Improved Traction: Reduces tire slippage by shifting weight directly to the rear axle
-
Equipment Protection: Wheel-near mounting minimizes leverage – reducing stress on axles and bearings
-
Optimal Weight Distribution: Essential for stability when using heavy or asymmetrical attachments
​
Flexible Mounting and High Compatibility
-
Suitable for many tractor brands including Fendt, John Deere, Deutz, and more
-
Modular Installation: Often one weight per wheel is sufficient – two per rim possible for higher ballast needs
-
Smart Adapter Solution: Simple and secure mounting across different rim types

Wheel Weights in Action – Versatile Applications
Efficient Ballasting for Modern Tractors
Wheel weights show their full potential wherever tractors operate under demanding conditions or with heavy tow loads. Especially with modern agricultural machinery and powerful attachments, optimal ballasting becomes essential – to safely and efficiently harness the tractor’s full performance.
A Key Advantage:
Wheel weights act directly at the rim. This specifically reduces strain on the front axle, front hydraulics, and tires. The low-mounted mass on the rear axle boosts traction, minimizes tire slippage, and reduces wear – while also saving fuel.
​
Typical Applications for Wheel Weights:
-
Fieldwork with Heavy Equipment
Wheel weights stabilize the tractor during tillage, seeding, and harvesting. When combined with front weights, they form a balanced, traction-optimized unit.
-
Road Transport with Heavy Loads
Whether hauling trailers or palletized goods – the added mass ensures smoother, safer driving, even at higher speeds.
-
Working on Slopes
Mounted wheel weights improve stability on inclines and during turns over uneven terrain.
-
Front Loader Operations
Rear-mounted weight offsets front-heavy loads – critical for safety when lifting bales, pallets, or bulk material.
Whether in arable farming, forestry, construction, or municipal use – Tenwinkel TW-Wheel weights adapt to your specific needs. Thanks to smart engineering, they can be flexibly mounted on either side – regardless of tractor brand or model year.

​Tractor Wheel Weights – Targeted Ballasting with a System
The demands on modern tractors continue to grow: more power, increasingly versatile implements, and ever-changing operating conditions – from fields and slopes to road transport. To use machinery safely and efficiently, proper ballasting is essential. Wheel weights offer a particularly effective way to shift total weight directly to the rear axle – without compromising maneuverability or driving behavior.
​
Unlike front or rear weights, wheel weights act directly on the rim. This reduces the leverage effect and improves stability under heavy loads, especially:
-
during front loader operations (bucket, bales, pallets)
-
during transport with heavy trailer loads
-
in sloped or uneven terrain
-
during tillage, seeding, or harvesting with heavy implements
​
Advantages of High-Quality Tenwinkel Wheel Weights:
-

​
By using wheel weights strategically, traction is improved while reducing wear on axles, tires, and drivetrains. At the same time, operational safety is enhanced – especially with changing equipment and high area output. Wheel weights are thus a key factor for efficiency and durability in professional machinery use.
FAQ – Wheel Weights for Tractors
How many wheel weights are needed per tractor?
In many cases, one wheel weight per side is sufficient to achieve effective ballasting. For higher ballast requirements – such as when using front loaders or heavy attachments – a full set with two weights per wheel may be necessary. Our expert team will help you determine the optimal setup for your specific application.
Do the wheel weights fit every tractor rim?
Our wheel weights come with a variable adapter plate that is compatible with many bolt patterns – including those from Fendt, John Deere, Deutz, CLAAS, and other brands. This allows flexible mounting on different tractor models. Custom solutions for specific bolt patterns are also available upon request.
What colors are available for the wheel weights?
Our wheel weights are delivered with a standard painted finish and can be custom-coated in any RAL color you choose – to match the look of your tractor or fleet.
