Building on Success: Quicke extends proven ballasting technology to larger AG tractors

April 21, 2026
Neu-Isenburg

Following the widespread adoption and success of the So Easy wheel weights among farmers, Quicke is proud to announce a significant expansion of their product range planned for the end of the year. Recognizing the growing demand for high-performance solutions in heavy-duty operations, they will expand the product range for bigger AG tractors, tailored for tractors rims between 38”-42”. This strategic launch builds on the proven reliability of their existing range of wheel weights and add on to their wide portfolio of products for all around the tractor.

 

Easy on and off – So Easy wheel weights optimize tractor performance by balancing weight distribution to maximize traction and minimize wheel slip. This reduced slippage could directly lower fuel consumption and prevents the excessive tire wear associated with inefficient power transfer. Properly adjusted ballasting ensures optimal control of both ground pressure and soil traction. Depending on the working conditions, the wheel weights can be easily mounted and removed – hence the slogan, “So Easy.”

By maintaining optimal traction, the engine operates at peak efficiency, which can have a positive effect on fuel consumption. Correct wheel weights protect soil structure while enhancing overall field stability and productivity.

The So Easy wheel weights from Quicke, made of robust cast iron feature a high-quality finish and are easy to handle, adjust and combine thanks to the modular add-on system. Currently available in the weight range 75-400 kg per wheel, with the planned expansion to also offer increased weight per wheel up to 845 kg. So Easy is a smart and modular wheel weight system that can be fitted to nearly any AG tractor on the market, thanks to its unique fasting method as it is bolted directly on the axle studs. So Easy wheel weights are compatible with both adjustable axles and tire pressure control systems.
