Vet: Oh I firmly believe the original tires were poor quality. They weren't worn badly but had bulges bad enough one could feel it in cab on tilled soil. You couldn't drive more than 8-10 mph on a hard road. Well, you might but you'd want a hard hat to protect you head from cab posts. Good Year replaced the tires free of charge, so I bought the second set and dualed her up.
The weight difference between 826 with 34" and 1066 with 38" is probably greater than I suggested, I wont argue that. Those cast wheels alone make huge difference I guess it's an opinion whether 20% is a lot or not much. Probably a greater difference than you suggest as I had the ROPS cab. Cat III hitch and bull gears will weight more on 1066. I've forgotten the axle size, it's probably larger on 1066.
My point was, Jim is not going to get great traction from those 16.9x34 no matter how much weight he uses. Even if he had single 18.4x38 he'd make a huge difference in rubber on the ground, flotation and would get much better utilization of his wheel weights.
When I dualed my 1066, I decided no point in adding weight unless I needed it. It lugged that 22' Bush hog disk with 20" discs, axle deep anywhere, it didn't leave wheel trackes. My other works was mainly heavy PTO.

As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
