My other loader tractor has rear wheel weights. For me plowing is the only time when a little more weight is nice, (dirt or snow), but I have wheel weights if nessary for dirt plowing, and tire chains for snow plowing. The only time I have had a hay wagon push me around due to lack of traction, is when using the front hitch and pushing a wagon while trying to turn sharp, and then it isn’t so much the wagon pushing me as much as the tractor trying to keep going straight and not turning (good time form turning brakes) and it is the front end that slides.<br></div><div data-signatureblock="true"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div style="padding-top: 5px; border-top-color: rgb(229, 229, 229); border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid;"><div><font face=" 'Calibri', 'Segoe UI', 'Meiryo', 'Microsoft YaHei UI', 'Microsoft JhengHei UI', 'Malgun Gothic', 'sans-serif'" style='line-height: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: "Calibri", "Segoe UI", "Meiryo", "Microsoft YaHei UI", "Microsoft JhengHei UI", "Malgun Gothic", "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:jtchall@nc.rr.com" target="_parent">John Hall</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, May 26, 2019 8:32 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:at@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_parent">Antique Tractor Email Discussion Group</a></font></div></div><div><br></div><div dir=""><div id="readingPaneBodyContent"> Some of you guys may remember I had to replace the tires on our 454 <br>Utility tractor a couple months ago (about 40hp). I didn't have time to <br>add water to them before I started using it. One of the first jobs was <br>to spray some wet fields. Got to thinking, this thing weighs about 1,000 <br>lbs less now---that is a good thing in wet ground. Spraying, mowing, <br>tedding hay is about all I do with this one. Occasionally I have to move <br>a loaded hay wagon with it (probably about 5-7,000 lbs). Wondering if I <br>should leave the fluid out of the tires? We've had this tractor since <br>72 and it has always had loaded tires. The only time I am thinking I may <br>really need them loaded is using a scrape blade (for heavy work, not <br>touching up a driveway), in the snow, it isn't often I have to scrape <br>snow but it happens every few years, or moving heavy wagons--especially <br>backing them up. Tractor is not 4WD, it does have a set of wheel weights <br>(always has had) and we live on some rolling hills--there are places you <br>don't go with any tractor.
