Cub rear wheel weights weigh about 150 lbs. each, one piece front wheel weights are approx. 26 lbs. each and split type front wheel weights are approx. 25 lbs. each. The addition of calcium chloride solution in the tires can add an additional 300 lbs. or more. Any additional equipment on the tractor will also add more weight.
