put the weights on the front,wheelie bars are hitting the ground they are carrying the back of the tractor.
ideal run is front wheel 1 inch off the ground,so you will win more with the front on the ground vs the bars diggind into the ground.

You could be loosing traction because of your air pressure. You may need more, like 13-15 psi depending on the track. If it's gravel lean towards 15, if its a hard clay, pull 13 psi. I hope this helps.

Is it happening at every pull? Remember that if your pulling a shorter chain its better to move your weights towards the front of the tractor.

What size tires? Do you have a weight bar in front of the rear tires? Made a huge difference on my M with 600# on a belly bar none behind the rear axle.
