With a loader, you need the fluid & probably then some yet. Got a Ford 7700 tractor, it came with fluid in all 4 tires. That'sa a lot of weight. No loader. Wondered about that. Over the years: When plowing in my clay, I can still lift the front end up. It has more traction for field cultivating with singles than my unweighted TW-20 does with duals in the right conditions. I now run a round baler on it, big 5x6, sure feels stable on the road & water ditches. Pull 500bu of grain with it to the elevator, sure is nice to be able to start - and stop - with it. Run a backhoe on it from time to time. No problem, even without a loader. Haul the round bales on the back of it from the 5x6 baler. Nice & stable. Turns out 25 years later, the fluid in all 4's on a big heavy tractor is a good thing - even without a loader. I'm sure I wore a set of tires out quicker because of the fluid, but - I got the work done that might not have too. One front tire is still original on it. Original fliud in it. The rears are tubeless. Take care of your stuff, & the rust will be minor compared to the work you can do. With a loader, you need weight on the back, the more the better. Fill them 75%, and look for weights as well. Anything less is foolish. --->Paul

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. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
