Hi Allan , I think I caught you on something here ;)--- " how many sets of rear weights and are the rear tires loaded, " --- . I know that my physics aren't that good but if you pick something up to the rear of the rear axle the axle itself becomes the fulcrum and the front of the tractor becomes the moment arm . So weight in the fulcrum area (wheel weight ) is a non issue since it's just carrying the fulcrum ( the axle ) and doesn't factor in to the load carrying ability of the TPH or the tractor for that matter unless it's got a loader then the fulcrum moves to the front axle . I may not have explained that very well but that's the best my feeble mind could muster this morning . Hope you aren't freezing ( hovering around zero to 5 below right now ) Have a goodun ...Randy

PS - Iron wheel weights effect the the total load capacity of the tire but fluid inside the tire does not .
