If you have enough places to hang weights then you could let water out. That would give you more movable weight which you could put in other places.

I would take it out. You can always put suitcase or wheel weights back on.

like others have said...if you can make a few weight brackets drop the fluid! You'd be suprised at how much weight can be moved around to help you, but again this all depends on your weight classes...do you pull a transfer sled?

 

[blondefarmall]

yes i have only pulled transfer sleds....

If you have the weights then I would definatly do it. You'll have a lot of fun playing with the lighter tractors and still be able to weight her down. Plus you wont have to worry about the rims rotting out on you as well...

decide on what youre gonna do . if you want to plow youll need the fluid . if youre gonna pull loose the fluid and any other wheel weight you can like tubes extra metal in wheels etc.

 

[blondefarmall]

wha tu mean pull loose?

if youre gonna pull. get rid of the fluid and any other tire weight you can . if youre gonna plow the garden then youll need to keep fluid at least in the left tire. i have found that most around these parts load the left with more fluid than the right . it may be that they are to cheap to buy enough for both or the tire in the loose dirt dont need as much vice versa. i really dont know why the farmers do it. i do know why the puller like to get rid of unsprung weight the same reason any one in automotive sports do

ya im only gonna use to pull it, and or put on irrigation travler some.... so ur saying i should loose the fluid?
