Explanation: Read all about extra weights added to tractors:
Total tractor weight and weight distribution
Proper tractor balance under load is crucial for maximizing tractor performance and minimizing ground pressure. Two types and locations of cast weights are available.
•
• FRONT WEIGHT SUPPORTS and SUITCASE WEIGHTS—Up to 26 - 100 lb. (45 kg) Quik-Tatch suitcase weights can be factory or field installed. Total weight that can be added on front is 3,175 lb. (1440 kg) including support.
• Track frame weight supports and suitcase weights—Up to 4 track frame weight supports can be factory or field installed (2 on each side). http://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/en_NA/tractor...
Presumably your vineyard tractor requires front weights (I once had a holiday job in a Swiss vineyard (Belletruche, in Mont sur Rolle) where I stacked crates of grapes onto the platform mounted at the back of one of those tractors hydraulically jointed (and steered) in the middle). When the platform was full, I pulled down a frame supposed to stabilize the lot, did my best to keep the edge of my boots securely in contact with no more than 2cm of platform protruding from beneath the crates, held on for my life to the stabilizing frame, and went for a very jerky journey back to the farm buildings).

In case there's any doubt about what (or where) a porte-masse actually is in this context:
Intercep FRONTAL - à lames [un demi-rang] 4.680,00EUR
Cet intercep rencontre aujourd'hui un important succés lié à l'abandon quasi-total du désherbage et aussi à une bonne rapidité du travail. Il s'agit d'un outil monobloc particulièrement robuste équipé de deux lames incurvées en acier spécial de 360 ou 500 mm avec un tâteur réglable.
[ ... ] Ces machines coupent l'herbe entre les pieds de vigne en profondeur (8 à 15 cm), permettent de tenir propre le rang toute l'année et de remplacer avantageusement les désherbants.
AGRIFOY propose 2 modèles différents :
- Intercep FRONTAL un ½ rang
Cet appareil simple est à fixer sur le PORTE-MASSE du tracteur. Il offre une visibilité de travail parfaite et de ce fait une bonne rapidité de travail. http://agrifoy-online.com/120intercep-frontal-lames-p-564.ht...
