You will probably want both. Loaded tires and weights or weight box. Dad has 18.4-28's on his loader both loaded with Chloride and about 5-800 in weights on each wheel some inside and a couple outside. Outside is just flush with the outside of tire. It does pretty good. If he needs more traction he gets the old bale forks for the 3pt that has an old gear of about 1000 on it. Then he can get through about anything he can push the front end through. I would just load them with chloride and be done with it. If you fix the leak right away and don't wait for it to set there for months to years, it will not ruin the rims like everybody claims. We have an H with the original rims the loader has the original rims and both are over 50 years old. 1953 and 1972. I am going to guess the MD is also on the original rims . We have had it since the early 70's and the same rims that long. Other tractors have been here about the same length of time with all the same rims and no rim problems. I think loaded tires do better than weights of any kind. The weight has a lower center of gravity than weights will since it goes from the ground up to the top of the rim inside the tire versus weights are from the casting bolt holes to the top casting bolt holes they never get to the ground. If you are in freezing weather conditions don't I repeat don't fill them with water.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
