Fluid prevents the tire from being able to flex to achieve maximum footprint. Weights allow for a better ride for the same reason.
Weights wont corrode your rims.
You can easily adjust your ballast with weights.
(quoted from post at 10:04:24 12/14/14) Advantages of fluid.
1. It's cheap
2. You can get more weight on the rears (not always a good thing).
3. It lowers the center of gravity.
Its disadvantages outweigh its advantages.
2 - Your rims are more likely to rust with CaCl, unless you are very fastidious about fixing leaks and keeping leaks cleaned up.
3 - You need to either fill the tires over the top of the rim
4 - You're tractor will have a less comfortable ride.
(quoted from post at 01:49:34 12/14/14) Do wheel weights perform as well as fluid in bias ply tires? Is there a difference, what is your opinion?
Rather than opinion lets go with the facts measured with accurate calibrated instruments at a tractor tire companies test laboratory.(quoted from post at 10:18:36 12/14/14)
(quoted from post at 13:20:10 12/14/14)
As far as stability is concerned cast iron vs liquid ballast. There is more difference with the weight of the operator and amount of fuel in the tank.
