i was wondering if aluminium would stand up to the pounding of having weights hang off of it. im talkin about the side brackets infront of the rear wheels of a 45 and a bracket sticking ahead 20-24" with weight on it. i have brackets in these positions and was thinking of going aluminium to save weight... i realize there would be just a few pounds difference.. but is it enough weight savings for the extra money???
thanks

I know alot of pullers with aluminium brackets and work great. How far can front weights be? Some rules are 11 foot from center of rear axle. I want my tractor as lite so I have a choice where to put the weights. It was a good question. 3200lbs with a driver is lite for a WD.
