I have a 580CK skip loader among many other loader units,, last year I had a rim get too bad to run from CC leaking and eating the rim long before I bought the machine in 1999,, I had a time finding one as of course Case no longer sells them as that would cut into new machine sales to sell a rim that fits at least 10 580 versions lol any way to make my story short I had to use it for over 6 months and through the winter before the rim was here and my tire guy was able to come out to install the tire and CC ( Hate the stuff but on this machine I need all the weight I can put on the rear) having one side light is Very unstable, and will make it act like a tri-cycle to put it in easy to understand terms, with the rear balanced it can still tip side to side at times but nothing like it does being light on one side, also traction is reduced by at least 50%, my unit does a large number of jobs,, moving snow and loading round bales is to big ones that are seriously affected by not having the rear end of the machine weighted correctly,, of course I always carry the load as low as possible for the job but loading bales is almost always done in a place not quite level, so counter weight in the correct place is a must,, what I am saying its VERY important to maintain a balanced counter weight to use a unit that is off balance is very dangerous,, but then I see so many who own a small 15-30 hp tractor of today trying to use the loader and no counter weight, which is both dangerous and unproductive along with being very hard on front end components cnt
