Hi Rod. The following chart should help answer some of your questions: Personally, I would not want to have one tire weighing that much more than the other. You can see from the chart how much more one side weighs than the other when it is loaded. Using Calcium Chloride will give you the most weight, but it is also highly corrosive. If you detect a leak in your inner tube, fix it immediately or your wheels will start rusting right away. Some folks are using used anti-freeze mix, which doesn't give you as much weight as the CaCl combo, but also doesn't have the potential to rust out your wheels. The anti-freeze has its drawbacks, especially if you have dogs. They love the taste and it will cause a very painful death if they ingest it. Given how you use your tractor, I would not go with turf tires. You give up traction, and you'll need it for what you are doing. Field tires that are loaded (with something) will give you adequate traction for what you say you want to do. You may have to add chains for snow removal or mud work. Chains and loaded tires will help you get through a lot of nasty stuff. Hope this helps..... ..... Ed '52 8N475798
