BCS Wheel Weight Barbell Hangers

Description

BCS Wheel Weight Barbell Hangers (Pair)

Barbell hangers are BCS’s economical way to add ballast to any of its tractors. Each is an 8 inch steel rod that fastens to the existing studs on a wheel; ordinary gym barbell plates slide onto the rods. Weight can be added or removed in moments to suit each job.

Adjustable Ballast

Fixed wheel weights are all or nothing. With hangers, a light ridger pass might need one plate per side, a subsoiler several. BCS recommends no more than 75 lbs combined per wheel. The hangers fit any BCS wheel size, although the diameter of plate that clears the rim depends on the wheel.

Hanger Details

• Sold as: a pair, one per wheel
• Length: 8″ per hanger
• Mounting: to the wheel’s existing studs
• Maximum load: 75 lbs per wheel
• Weights: not included; BCS does not sell barbell plates

Sourcing Plates

Standard barbell plates with a center hole sized for the rod are widely available secondhand. Measure the rim to choose a plate diameter that clears it, and secure the plates so they cannot slide off on rough ground.

Other Ways to Add Weight

Bolt-on wheel weights for 10 and 12 inch wheels are tidier and fixed. Foam-filled tires add weight inside the tire.
