Most people run the better tires (less wore out) on the inside. Use the more wore out pair of tires mounted up as the outside duals. Not un-common to see outside duals that are perty near bald. Most people don't use weights or fluid ballast on the outside duals. Even if the inside wheels are weighted somehow. I don't think I have ever seen any weighted duals.
Just because your tractor 'CAN' accept duals, is not really a reason for you to be putting them on. Your reasoning for putting them on should derive from what you'll be using the tractor for. If your going to be using the tractor to disc plowed ground or something as such, you obviously have some reasoning to be putting them on. But what I'm trying to say is I guess, if you dont have that kind of reasoning for putting them on, and are just putting them on to be putting them on, you are only increasing the chances of running over your own dog.
Around here (my area), farmers have pretty much went to all no-till. That reduced the need for duals. Some still run duals, some don't. What dis-appeared probly the most, is people taking duals on and off of the same tractor. If you see a tractor dualed up these days in my neck of the woods, the duals are likely on to stay and don't get takin off. If you see a tractor not dualed, the owner likely has things he does with the duals off and just leaves it that way. But if no such reason is there, it might just get dualed up and stay that way.
It still all comes down to what your doing. Other than plowed ground, some other examples are, if you are pulling a massive grain cart you'll want duals, but if your pulling a big round hay baler you won't want them. In my area, it has more to do with that now, rather than plowed ground.

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.
