M in 4500

[IH 1586]

Has anyone been able to get an M into the 4500 lbs class? I'm sure it would be tough, but a single front wheel, pressed steel rears. I would need to get the tractor to 4500 because I a m a 200 lbs guy and I get 200.

strip it and put steel wheels on it with 13.6 x 38 . or 14.9 s . that's what people do at our club . cvatpa.com

Why would you want to run that light? How fast are you running? I wouldn't think you would ever get any traction. At 5600 lbs., I just spin out. I seem to do better at 6600 lbs. and 7100 lbs. Just wondering,

Have seen big stroker M's that weigh 3800.

I had to weld on plates for rear hubs and use a home made front with aluminum wheels.

Got mine down into 4500. no pto,no belly pump, 15.5 tires, tin pressed rims, no belt pully, had to take my weight bracket off, also its a war model and got told they were lighter?? did this for 2 years and it just doesnt pull any good in the light classes. 5500 and 6000 is where it does the best.

I already have an H and a Super H that runs 3500 and 4500 with a 3.5 mph speed limit. I am astrictly IH guy and was looking for a 4500 5500 tractor. Thanks for the help guys, I will stay in the higher classes where I can add the weight where I need it.

I can get mine down to 4500 with everything off of it and just the front aluminum weight brackets and fuel tank with no weights. With 18-4-38 Tires. Mine pulls better in the 6000 and up classes. But you have to have to engine to turn the tires.
