I think your guess work as to weight is pretty close to accurate. I would have guessed 250 pounds for the starter, generator, battery, and lights. No idea on the lift, but adding the lift might get the tractor up to 1600 pounds. Add yourself and you have 1730 pounds. I think a preliminary weigh-in would be a good idea. Take it to a grain elevator or preferably the place where they will have the pull weigh-in. Scales vary.
Only hint I can give you on pulling is to read the rulebook and get your hitch up as high as allowed. That will improve the weight transfer to the rear.
A tachometer would be good to make sure you have the maximum permitted RPM for that tractor in the class you are pulling in.
You want to reduce tire pressure to increase the contact patch but how much tire pressure will depend on track conditions.
