Thanks for the pics of your d17 , its a good looking tractor. I don't have a weight bracket on the side of mine only on the front and rear. I can put about 350 lbs on the front and it's still too lite. I see your d17 doesn't have weights on the front just on the sides and rear, will the weights on the sides of your D17 hold the front end down good enough ?

Well, as you can see the front is in the air, I like to be able to steer all the way down the track.....I feel that could have filled the side brackets and it have helped, coulda went down a gear , too. That hook was at the Tipp of the Mitt track in Onaway Mi, I had all sorts of traction, that is one power sucking track ! But I won , sooo.........
