Different tractor but maybe still an idea of how much weight people add. I had a Farmall 450 quite a few years back and added a Farmhand F-11 loader. 450 had no fluid and no rear weights. Traction was not good and you could feel the rear end get light with a heavy load. I filled the rears with fluid and looked for weights.

I had 15.5-38 on the back, I don't remember how many gallons a 15.5-38 holds but I recall thinking I had added a little over 2000 pounds with fluid and wheel weights. That weight made a huge difference. Tractor felt more stable keeping the rear wheels on the ground and you weren't spinning the tires with a load in the loader bucket.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
