Tractors never had much weight added on the front until three point and fast hitch implements became popular. Most well designed tractors that pulled their loads with a conventional drawbar were designed so that the draft of the load they were pulling pulled down on the front of the tractor and generally the front stayed down until the load would nearly stall the tractor in the lower gears-if the tractor had enough weight on the rear wheels. But, the weight of integral pulled tools on the three points and fast hitches made weights on the front necessary. Also, about this time tractors became much more powerful for their weight and would "spin out" much easier, even in faster gears. So now you have to weight your tractor for how much you want to pull, how fast you want to go, and how the load will be attached-three point or the drawbar hitch. You'll have to "experiment" some or at least do a little thinking about what you're going to be pulling. Hope this helps you.
