Ed,
Whether the weighted knobs will cause pre-mature wear to the encoder
bearings is undetermined.
However, I would caution you to remove those heavy knobs before
transporting or shipping the K3. Any vertical bumps can cause the extra
weight to bend the encoder shaft and create "rough spots" in the knob
when rotated.

Before I install 73inc weighted knobs on my K3S, is anybody of the opinion that
these knobs cause long-term damage to the PTO shaft? These knobs are quite
heavy, compared to the factory ones.
