There are pluses and minuses to both ways. Fluid in tires means you get traction but dont have to carry the weight on the axles, and can pretty much leave it year around with no harm, no foul. Can be easiest if you have a pump. BUT.. if your in thorn country, or in freeze country, not necessarily the best solution. Down in the south, plain water works as it does not get below freezing more than a couple hours a night in most cases. But every 10 years there will be a longer freezing event keeping you off your tractor a while. AND water and slime actually do well together in the thorn country. Rule... dont plow below freezing...
Weights on the rims... see above. but no leaks to deal with, so probably the best option.
3pt weight is further back so the leverage work well to help with traction and especially a front end loader work. AND can be taken off and on. BUT.. it beats up the 3pt, loads the axle bearings, makes tractor longer (cleaning corrals), and keeps your 3pt tied up.
Over axle weights are good but hard to find, and do put weight on the axle bearings...

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.
