On this disk someone has welded two bolts on the frame (a set on each half), I assume to add weight to the disk.  I was thinking about adding some weight and I have some wheel weights.  The weights I have weigh about 140#'s each.  Would it be too much to add the extra 140#'s to each side or would that be too much for the bearings, etc.

I was debatiing on doing that or adding one 140# weight in the center of the disk.

Thoughts?

Common addition of weight locally is a rail road tie cut to length. Haven’t seen them cause any issues.

Probably the bigger problem you'll run into is keeping the front-end on the ground.  Too much weight and picking the disc up could be a problem too.

If its not cutting enough a pull type (drawbar hitch) disc is the way to go,they will cut better and you can add all the wieght you can pull no problem.
