Can someone teller how much more weight is added to a L3800 with fluid added to the back tires?

Depends on whether R1, R3 or R4 type tires and what you're putting in the tires. If it's R4's, it should probably be 800 - 1,000 lbs for both tires. R1 will be less, R3's probably more. Shop manual should have a chart with specs for the L3800 or a call to a dealer should narrow it down.

Yep there's a chart the tire shop has that lists tire size vs. ballast weight. Also the tractor manual may list it. I know my L3830 manual does.
