I have a 450 with a loader I use for snow pushing. Presently I have fluid and 2 cast weights on each side. I'm tired of rusting rims from the fluid. What or how many weights would I have to add to keep the same amount traction.

I have a 2 point with a heavy blade on the rear also. This thing is a SNOW MOVING MACHINE with chains. I would like to keep the same amount of traction, without using fluid, any suggestions? Tires are 15.5x 38. Thanks Bill

Fluid is hard to beat. I used windshield washer fluid; no corrosion if it leaks. It cost me 99 cents a gallon in 55 gallon drums. Your size tires will take about 66 gallons. I bought the fluid from the local co-op. Good luck

My Super M "lost" about 1,900 lb when I got rid of the tire ballast fluid (14.9 x 38 tires). And I believe the IHC wheel weights are around 145# each.

Incidentaly I got as good or better traction after getting rid of the tire ballast by using tire chains when plowing snow.
