Super A and loaded tires

I have to put new rear rims on my SA and whoever had it before me had the rear tires filled with calcium. This tractor also has the wheels weights on it. Isn't that a bit of overkill for an SA? Or is that commonly done to them? I was planning on just leaving the fluid out and running the weights. I will be pulling a 151 plow with it, if that makes any difference. I figured I wouldn't need the extra weight since the plow was made for the tractor. Thanks for your help.
 
You wont need the fluid. My B just has the cast center wt and i plow with it. The cast centers weigh the same as the add on wts and you have the cast center on the drivers side now. What is your tire size.
 
You probably don't need it.
I plow with my B with no fluid in the tires, just the wheel weights.

I would try it, if you have no traction problems, it is good as is.
 
Calcium is not used much now in this area, mostly beet juice which is not corrosive. The first thing I do if I buy a tractor with calcium is remove it. I've seen too many rims ruined by it.
 
These rims were bad when I got it, that's why I hadn't fooled with removing the calcium. It has 11.2x24 on the rear.
 
You dont need the fluid but you do need the rear weights. When ever i get a 140 the first thing i do is get rid of the fluid and then i just add the weights. With no weights and no fluid on those tractors its not real safe.
 
I run 11.2"s on my Super A with 1 set of weights normally, no calcium. It works fine in the field. In the winter I put a second set of weights on (due to the hill in my driveway) as well as the chains. I would recommend weights with no calcium. You can always put on a second set of weights if you have them when you need the extra weight.
