Sounds like it takes 125 gallons to offset the weight of the motor/front part of the tractor, so all you'll need is to offset the other 125 gallons (plus a little to get positive traction with the front tires... 1 gallon of water weighs about 8.35 lbs...

If you can move the weight farther away, it'll take less (I am not sure of the math on that)... But AT MOST you'll need approx. 1000 lbs...
