Loading combine tires

Anybody ever load combine tires to help it stay on a hillside? Did it help like on a tractor?

If you need to "load" your tires for hillside use,DONT. If its that steep,its too steep to be on. And your combine wont work worth a darn either.Combines need to be level to work properly.If you have steep hills,look into a hillside combine.Those things are amazeing for their ability to self level.Those guys run turf tires on en and dont seen to slide around.

Drive tires with 45 degree lugs seem to hold better on muddy side hills than 23 degree tires.

I've heard of loading the rear tires to balance a heavy header.

Never heard of loading the drive tires for sidehills, maybe talk to folks in Oregon/Washington where those steep wheat fields are, but yikes it does t sound like a good situation......
