I have a 1970 Massey Ferguson 165 diesel tractor that I have acquired and will use it for hobby use on somewhat hilly terrain. I will use it for mowing and box blade work. It has 18.4 X 26" tires and I found out that one tire is filled about 1/3 with fluid and the other side is empty. I figure that there is about 200 lbs of fluid in there. My question is if I would fill the other one to about 1/3 or even put both at 1/2 full, would I have better stability on the hillsides with the fluid in the tires. Is there a problem with running at a lower fill or is this just a less weight issue. I know about the calcium chloride / rim problems as I grew up using a TO-20 Ferguson with all four tires filled, and yes after fifty years the rims were shot and I had to replace them.
