Jesse: One word of advice, dump any calcium chloride. I had a 1066 20.8x38 singles, loaded with chloride. Everywhere it pulled the 22' disk or 24' cultivator, it left wheel tracks the tillage implements would not cover. Very annoying trying to drill or plant corn on that surface. The next year I dumped the chloride added another set of 20.8x38 as axle duals and the tractor actually pulled the implements better, leaving no wheel tracks behind.
Another thing some of my neighbors ran into with snap on duals. Loaded with chloride the duals broke that single cast hub. This was with 856, 966, etc. Your 450 wouldn't have the weight or exert the torque, but those cast centers are much lighter than a 856 or 966. If I were going to use chloride, I'd want axle duals. I've also heard tell of broken axles with axle duals and chloride. There is a limit to how much a tractor can pull without unlimited breakage.
It said right in a 1066 manual, do not make a maximum pull with duals on in any of the 3 lowest gears. Basically they are telling you not to add enough weight and tractoin so it can't spin. A tractor must have some slipage to cushion the power train.
