First off I really dislike using CC in tires,, some times it cannot be helped though,, that said,, it does help the ride unless you fill them to the top,, as long as you leave 10-20% for air you still have the same flex maybe even a bit more than without it,, wheel weights I would chose any day over liquid,, but again it takes a Lot of them to get the same weight as CC will, here is my uncle's Kubota I setup for him,, I have 6 sets of weights on it (6 each side) think they are 85-95 lbs weights,, it is still not enough counter weight without a implement on the 3pt if you are really maxing out loader lift capacity. I sold tractors new of many decades as well as use them so I have a pretty good idea what works and what does not,, this tractor has no liquid weight in the rear wheels, I will say the industrial tires on this one ride stiff,, I only run 12 psi in them with all the weight I have on it and she rides far better than when it was delivered. I also installed a Grouser belly blade on it for him, that alone added 1200 lbs to the counter weight. before I added the belly blade I was running 5 psi in the rears so they would "flex" a bit and not ride like steel wheels. When I mowed road ditches and did all the reseeding when we rebuilt a road for the County here I was running a Ford 7700 with FWA, it was a top heavy tractor for this kind of work, it had a couple wheel weights but not nearly enough for steep slopes to hold her down, I had the rear tires loaded with CC and that Really helped hold it on slopes as the weight was concentrated at the bottom of the tires,, night and day change in having a wheel get so light it would stop moving unless I had it in 4x4 and or diff lock on. the little guys like you have and my uncle has are Prone to tipping sideways even on flat ground if you do not have the needed counter weight, all it takes is to have the load in the bucket a bit to one side and get that loader above the hood and things can turn Ugly Quick. Sorry I should have snapped a few more pics of it

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
