I have looked at different weight racks. Which way would be better to hang the weight? Where you hang the weight like on a farm tractor or hang it sideways?
Sideways is the way to go. Pick up a tractor weight and hold it in front of you, then extend your arms straight out its much harder to hold because of the extra leverage. It has the same effect on the truck
Depends, how many weights and what style? If there are enough of them that they are just as thick when sideways as they are hanging forward then it will not matter. Also depends on what design they are. If they are the big JD weights good luck, those things suck to make fit and look decent.
Hang them sideways and hang as many as you can at the 60" mark ( if that's what your rules allow.)
Attached is a link to show the math in a very simple way.
Change the "X" (the distance from front axel c/l to weight bracket front) figure in the chart and you will see the difference.... Random Links
