[QUOTE="1mathom1, post: 1468967, member: 11736"] For almost all tractor work OTHER than mowing, weight is the big deal. A two wheel drive tractor properly weighted will do amazing work. Not enough weight and you'll be disappointed. 4x4 helps with no extra weight added. Someone mentioned calcium chloride....that is long accepted way to weight tires with liquid but it is very corrosive. I, along with a bunch of farmers I know, have opted to go to 50/50 antifreeze/water. Not quite as heavy a calcium but much less damaging if you develop a leak. Now...if most of your work is mowing the weight will really track your lawn. I opted to not try to to it all with one machine....Ford tractor/Toro Zero Turn mower. [/QUOTE]
