I think I would just remove the fluid and leave it at that. I use 1,000lb of suitcase weights on the front of my 70hp tractor to pull a 3-16 rollover plow and no fluid in the rear tires or wheel weights. The tires rarely slip. If they do I just lift the plow a little and have all the weight I need. Oh, I'm using 13" tires in the back and 7.50's on the front plowing in thick clay type of soils.

I can even pull a 14' disk & grain drill (only down enugh to level the field) - wheel slipage isn't the problem HP is
