Fluid and dual will make a ton of difference. I can't see how anybody can try to pull something like that in loose soil without it. I think Firestone may have a picture on theire website that explains how to tell if you have proper traction or not. Basically, if you can make out a clear, non-disturbed tread pattern in loose soil, it's too heavy. If the pattern is slightly busted up but still there, that's about perfect. If there is too much slip and you can't make out the tread pattern, add some weight, because all you're doing is making the tires spin, and the HP isn't getting to the ground. Might as well have a 80 Hp tractor with weight for the last one, because that's probably about all you're putting to the ground is 80 HP. Duals will help alot too as long as they have some tread, but they can just make the tractor float even more if they're bald and there isn't any weight on them...
