Front weight
With a pto 48" tiller on the back you will need more than 100 lbs of weight on the front. The John Deere model 48 tiller (48" 3 pt, 2000 rpm rear pto) weighs about 450 lbs and from the pictures I have seen the IH equivalent is as beefy. Just to move my 48 I have 4, 42 lb suitcase weights on the front of my 332. The manual states when tilling to have 8 weights on the front. The 332 with model 48 is easier to get in places than the 244 with it's 54" tiller. But, I prefer to use the 244 if possible. The long wheel base makes for a flatter planting surface, The 332 w/tiller can make a slightly undulating surface if there are any cross row imperfections.
