I must respectfully disagree with Kevin's comments below about wheel weights being a better alternative than liquid ballast in the tires. Given two identical tractors with one having liquid in the tires and the other having the same amount of wheel weights, the first tractor will win a pulling contest every time. There is much more advantage to the weight placement directly on the tread of the tire contacting the ground. Secondly, the liquid ballast does not impose the same loading on the axles and bearings that wheel weights or suitcase weights do. Liquid in the tires never gets in the way when doing maintenance or driving close to obstructions, as some wheel weights do. When installed with some freeze preventative, there are no problems at all with the water. Lastly, water plus a little antifreeze is much cheaper than any wheel weights I've ever seen for sale. : : : : : I have been told I need to put water in the : tires : : : of my MF 135.
