You have to go back to basics on this question. First the point of ballasting a tractor is a good one, your tractor, rule of thumb here, must be weighting close to a 100# per horsepower it produces to get good traction. Another point is the quality of your tires lug. Rice type tires have deeper lug than regular Ag tires so will dig in deeper. Some research have been made when it comes to duals versus single tires. To get more traction out of duals both duals need to be narrower than the regular single tire. In other words, the track width of the narrow dual equalled to the track witdth of a single makes more traction. To had a set of dual the same width only helps in flotation and actually decreasses traction. Hope this helps and not confuses people.
