I had seen the ballast #'s in the manual before I even put the loader on the tractor. I just didn't realize how true they were. Many times manuals will say things that aren't absolutely neccesary in the interest of safety. For example many european car owners manuals say change your brake fluid once a year...how many of us do that and the brakes continue to work fine 10 years later. Now I realize the ballast numbers are not a suggestion but rather a neccesity. I used the tractor extensively on Sunday and borrowed my buddys ballast box and had no problems at all. I was amazed at the tractors ability to go in the deep mud with no problems. The mud was up past the side walls of the tires and slopping onto the rims and the tractor just went. Horsepower didn't seem to be an issue at all either. Thanks all for your help.
