McCormick front weights to suit the X60 series tractors. The set includes 6 wafer weights at 45 kg each, plus the centre weight block and mounting bar – so that’s 270 kg of ballast in total before the centre block. McCormick part number is 4208135.
Why Front Weights Matter
Front weights aren’t glamorous but they’re one of those things that makes a real difference to how a tractor handles and performs. On the X60 series, adding ballast to the front end improves stability when you’re running heavy rear-mounted implements like a muck spreader, round baler, or linkage-mounted cultivator. Without enough weight up front, the steering goes light, the front wheels lose traction, and you’re fighting the tractor instead of working with it. It also helps with loader work – if you’ve got a front loader fitted and you’re lifting heavy loads, the extra counterbalance keeps the rear end planted.
These are genuine McCormick wafer weights, not aftermarket copies, so the fitment and finish are correct for the X60 mounting bracket. The wafer design means you can run all six for the full 270 kg or remove a couple if you only need partial ballast for lighter work.
At £500 + VAT for a full set with the centre block and bar included, this is a fair price for genuine McCormick weights – individual wafer weights alone tend to hold their value well on the secondhand market because there’s always demand from X60 owners looking to add or replace weights.
