A lot of new tractor buyer do not know what they do not know. They may not understand the need for ballast with a FEL. There are several veteran tractor owners on this forum that do not understand the need for ballast. These small tractors of any brand need the ballested tires for FEL work. Many of the rims are not made for cast iron weights which are also very expensive.That’s ridiculous of your dealer. He/she is doing a disservice to those who want to use a 3pt weight box, cast rims, or wheel weights, or hang an implement off the back.
Some guys working in rough conditions can’t have fluid in their tires.
The result is a good dealer selling a tractor with a FEL needs to load the tires.
