Either tire will be fine, as far as weight, as long as your plow is set up and working properly, and you have it hitched correctly it will depend on the type of ground and weather conditions: The question you should ask yourself is do you plan on working/using the tractor or showing/parading/pulling it more? If you are going to use it and not tow it around, or change weight classes at a pull, or spend lotsa time in road gear on rides and such, then loading the tires may be the way to go...it's hard to beat liquid for traction purposes as it not only utilizes the weight, but a little centrifugal force comes into play once you are moving (I use windshield washer fluid as opposed to calcium chloride as it is non corrosive.) If you are going to be doing the other things I would just get 3-4 sets of weights and throw a cpl sets on when you plow. More if it's wet: this spring was wet here in the Southern Tier of NY and the IH's that generally do plow day with one set of weights were slippin' alot (our SH with 2-16s, my buddy's SM with 3-14s...)but almost all the tractors except the N Fords and horizontal 2 cyl Johnnies. As far as plowing well...there are a couple of excellent plowing books out there, your IH plow manual will help alot, ask the guys that already know, and just keep plowin' and adjustin' you'll be an old hand before ya know it!

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
