Ok, so just putting duals on may not solve the problem. Couple things to think about. Are the tires spinning? If they are, then traction is the issue. Put two more tires there and you'll get the traction, plus less pounds per sq inch. Or, load them up with more weights so they don't slip.

You should have slippage with the front axle is you have a tractor that is FWA. If you load the front rack on a FWA tractor, you are asking for power hop. If you are getting good traction in the rear, FWA may help more. But, the ballasting the tractor correctly is the most important part. Now your implement. How many shanks does it have on it? Around my parts, 10 hp per shank is the norm. Just a few things to think about.
