Bob, You will more than likely have about 110-125 gallons total to dispose of. We checked with our encon guys here years ago, it won't harm the environment, but is a little rough on the grass. If it is mixed properly it should weigh about 8.5 lbs per gallon, so about 400# per side. It is possible to fill them above the valve, and if your comes out when your valve is up, it is obviously that full. Your B being a 2cyl JD, and having much more of it's weight over the rear axle than most other brands, should be OK without the added weight, especially with the weight of a Hog on the back, for what you said you are doing. That being said, we did need to weight our 70, as it makes for much better traction in mud and snow, and most importantly, on the track when hooked to the sled! We use winter weight windshield washer fluid, with an 8oz bottle of waterbed conditioner in each wheel, it is cheap, non-corrosive, and easy to use yourself, all you need is a garden hose, a 55 gallon drum, a cheap submersible pump and a $9.00 fitting from NAPA or Gemplers.
