but weight is weight (meaning liquid will do as good a job). Filled would be the first course of action. Add the wheels weights if you still need more.
Not exactly true, we could debate the implications on a CUT but in the real farm tractor world, Liquid weight costs horsepower. Search tech docs from University Extension Services, Tire Companies, etc.. all come to the same conclusion... Iron is better then liquid when it comes to pulling power. On a chore tractor with frequent direction changes, I'd say liquid cost even MORE hp, but studies havent been done on chore tractors so I couldnt proove my theory one way or the other.
The only reason liquid is so popular is its dirt cheap.
