Having moved from the UK to the Canadian prairies 15 years ago,and running euro style equipment (MF3670 and a CaseIH 5140 both 4x4), i have ended up adding fluid to both tractors rear tires... The Massey pulls a 30ft airseeder, and while it could manage it with no fluid/weights on the rear tires having a half filled tire has made for more traction - better weight balance front to rear. I don't need it the rest of the year, and i am seriously thinking about pulling the airseeder from the lower lift arms and using the draft control to transfer weight to the tractor.
The 5140 has a loader on, and in the winter when using the 3 point hitch to carry a bale, everything is ok, but one the bale is gone, and the loader is still being used then it's a very different beast.
I am running radial tires (pirelli's), i think tires do have something to do with it, but not everything. Surprisingly, tractors that i used in the Uk with a good reputation there have a poor reputation here, and vica versa... i can only think it is something to do with the type of work they do in the different countries/climates/workloads.
