English term or phrase: cheek weight
Text describing the weights of a tractor.

"(..) weights can be attached to brackets located on the side frame to help counterbalance the effect of operating heavy hitch-mounted implements that require additional weight to maintain the correct weight split. These weights are also known as cheek weights when mounted in this location."

"Cheek weights" are also called "side engine weights".

Thank you for your help!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Olá Teresa, obrigada pela sugestão. Contudo, contrapeso é demasiado geral, sendo usado para qualquer tipo de contrapeso aplicado no tractor, independentemente da sua posição. Talvez "contrapeso lateral" ou algo assim... Obrigada na mesma:-)
