Yep! I agree.
Many tractors had added weight to get good traction whilst undergoing the Nebraska Tests, (especially the older ones?). Obviusly a good idea in the right conditions and if the tractor could cope without slippage (for at least the test time). Personally, I feel generally solid ballast is the best route in most cases as it can be put on and taken off relatively easily and doesn"t cause corrosion like calcium CHLORIDE (not carbonate) solution.
One downside is that it often hangs on the frame as front-end weight and can overstress the frame - especially those which use the engine as a stressed component. In the end, farmers do what is necessary to get the job done.
