The cast iron counterweights on the tractor tires have some important functions.

1. The cast iron counterweights can increase the friction coefficient related to the increase of the adhesion between the tractor wheel and the ground, and prevent the wheel from slipping.

2. Tractors are short and heavy, so they are safer when working uphill with cast iron counterweights.

3. The installation of cast iron counterweight on the wheel is to increase the contact area between the tire and the ground, and prevent the phenomenon of idling and slipping of the tire.
