Wheel weights can be added to rear and front wheel's. Wheel weights on the rear wheel's increase the amount of weight on rear wheel's which reduces tire slippage, thus increasing traction. Wheel weights also add rolling over stability (rolling a tractor on its side) but minimal. Even when weighted, you should still observe all dangers of rolling a tractor as if not weighted. Wheel weights can also reduce front to back tipping. For heavy pulling or heavy 3-point lifting, added weight on the front (front wheel weights) will help you out. Helps keep those front wheel's on the ground. For lifting with front loader, rear wheel weights will help keep the rear wheel's on the ground. I would recomend added rear weight for even light work with a loader. You can ussually acquire a greater amount of weight to the rear wheel's by loading the tires with fluid. Calcium chloride fluid is highly corrosive to rims.
