A lot of good advice below.
As to where to put weight: Assuming a 2wd tractor, you only need it on the rear axle or behind.
If it is a 4wd tractor, you still want it on the rear axle. Your problem is the rear axle squirming away from you, so that is where the weight is needed.
I won't promise this will solve your problem; as others say it is just a problem of the situation. But it likely will improve things.
Here is the _real_ problem: Tractor tires work real well in one direction, and do not work in the other direction. The angle bars wipe mud off to the side when you spin, and the tire digs down to firn ground & pulls you real well going forward.
When you back up and spin a bit, the lugs on the tire will now pull the mud in under the center of the tire, and you get no traction at all! It just wants to squirm all over, and not get any traction in reverse.
You could fix the backing up problem by swapping your tires around backwards. However, then you will have no traction going forwards!!!!
