IF I was going to take one off I'd drop the fluid. When we mowed highways we ran iron weight with air in the tires, seemd to have fewer flats. With that said it would be easier if you dont like it to pull the iron. How about dropping the iron and seeing how you like it, if you do put it back on and pull the fluid perminantly.

I 'respectfully disagree' on pulling the weight, I'm the 'ballast king', but I do fit the catagory that Indy described with big loads of hay. I spend a lot of time on a lot of hills and want anything I can get holding me down plus move a lot of rolls double wide and stacked on twin 20' wagons (about a thousand a year). I bought a tractor with radials and didnt realize that they didnt have fluid in them (they really pull good) until I was trying to pull a load on frozen ground.
