Exactly. All that math and calculation was performed on the assumption that the mass of the liquid in the tire was rigidly attached the wheel/tire as cast-iron weights are. Except for the very small amount of fluid that the tire can actually grab onto, the majority of it stays relatively stationary while the tire rotates around and under it. It takes more braking effort to stop a iron-ballasted wheel than a liquid-ballasted wheel. Of course, after you stop, the liquid tends to slosh around and rock the tractor some, which doesn't happen with cast, but that's a separate issue.
