Adding alot of weight to the rear of your tractor for a perminate stand point the fluid is a good way to go. The only downfall is the leaky tubes and tires cause rims to rust out. The bolt on wheel weights, or other iron weights have more advantages to tractor pulling however than the fluid. The weight can be distributed around the tractor as you desire (not just in the wheels). It is also easier to take off and put on which alot of people do to get in the lighter, or heavier weight class. They can pull in two or three weight classes that way instead of just the one. I have been to pulls and seen the same tractor pull alot of different times in different classes and with different driver in the same class. Takes alot of the fun out of it when you are sitting in the stands watching. I am not a tractor puller myself but have several old tractors. When I fix one up I try to keep it as standard and as original as I can. I walk down the line of tractors at the antique pulls and I see altercation after altercation. Seen an M Farmall one time with aluminum frame rails. Seen a H farmall one time that was stripped down to the bear necessity's (pretty much engine, battery, transmission, gas tank). Maybe its just me but I think it is kind of sad to see a peice of history distructed into something just to pull a sled. I find it alot more fun to go to tractor shows, swap meets, enter in parades, and use my tractors around the farm as much as I can. Just my two cents worth.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
