Fluid in tires necessary?

Folks,
A recent post about fluid in tires reminded me to seek opinions regarding my JD 1070.
It has a Bradco FIL and is bracketed for a Bradco backhoe also. I am second owner, about 16 years now.
The backhoe remains in the barn and gets used 3-4 times a year on the farm.
My tires are fluid filled, presumably because of the backhoe's mass. My farm is dead flat and the backhoe has good size outriggers.
Do y'all think I REALLY need fluid in the tires?
The only real problem is that filled tires just about max out my trailer capacity, otherwise it is no big concern.

opinions appreciated.

Thanks, Bob
 
Bob,

I agree with the others as have had first hand experience with a loader tractor having had fluid in the tires then not having it . If you are that concerned about your trailer being maxed out that is a whole other story.
 
my rears are loaded with windshield washer fluid, have 250 pounds of cast on each wheel plus cast centers, probably 1500 pounds each.
