Well when it comes to weight on a tractor lets just say i may be a little off PLUMB for a tractor with a loader ya can never have enough . Loaded tires wheel weights and yes some on the hitch . For snow removal on a two wheel drive ya can't get enough iron on for traction when you find that layer of ice under the snow or ya have heavy wet snow , This is where tire chains come into play. For me keeping the back end GLUED to the ground is my main goal , once that back end comes off the ground you have problems . I had at one time a 706with a 2000 loader on it and yes at times i was lifting more then i should have. I had the big dirt bucket and the big manure forks and i made up a 6 foot boom pole for handling plows disc and such . It was those 14- 16 foot cultimulchers that would get ya in trouble even hooked on the back chains that were about 2 foot out on the boom pole not at the end. Even with the 18.4x34 tires loaded ten sets of do nuts and what ever else i could hook to the hitch it still could be tippy . Have a steering spindle snap off will let you see your life flash in your eyes .
