Depends on the size of your business, crops, soil types, till/no till, herbicide or tillage weed control, radial or bias and is it a 1 tractor operation?
Some operators use those 4x4x4 totes mounted on a fork lift pallet. They drain the liquid ballast after the spring tillage and re-load it for fall ploughing.
It's difficuilt to calculate crop losses, soil compaction and extra fuel consumption via eye,ear and the seat of the pants.
On the other hand when measuring everything accurately in a labratory setting. The decrease in fuel consumption and increase in crop yields makes an hour bolting/unbolting weights pay very well.
