Here are some specs that might help you make a decision.
Maximum calcium chloride solution capacities: 13.6-28 four ply tire....187#CalC, 38 Gals water, equals 504 lbs solution per tire at 90% fill. Information courtesy of Ford 2000/4000 Operator manual.
Ford 703 loader: 825 lbs shipping weight with #19-125 material bucket which weighs 360 lbs. Information courtesy of Ford loader series 703 operators manual.
I"m sure that you already know that you should always carry your bucket as low as possible to prevent an unstable situation .
I have a 1962 4000 with 703 loader with 6 foot wide bucket in hilly terrain in Tennessee. I upgraded from old 13.6-28 tires loaded with CalC to new 14.9-28 tires loaded with fluid and approximatly 1100 lbs of pie wheel weights because I couldn"t get enough traction or braking on my hills when I put dirt in the bucket. Also helps when I plow or pull a drag disc. Warren
