I have achieved Tractor.. yippee!<br>
If I could figure out how to attach a photo, I would.<br>
After much debate, I ended up going with the filled tires as recommended by the dealer. If I don't like it that way, I'll get some help to get the water (and alcohol) out. My compressor can fill them back up easily enough.<br>
It has already lifted my tumbler of the trailer, re-graded a drainage problem around the barn, and built an earthen ramp off the road. Many happy adventures to come I am sure. And many thanks for the advice I have received!<br>

Great answer! However, I don't think I explained myself properly... for going into the softer areas I would be taking the loader off entirely (I'm hoping that's not too difficult to do). So it appears to me, that without filling the tires, I could do some plowing with a whole bunch less weight.
On the other hand, is that really practical? A 700 lb. block of cement is going to take up some space on the back when I do use the loader (which would be most of the time). And I assume that if I wanted to do bush-hogging and loader work together, it might be a problem because I don't think my bush-hog (5 foot)weighs that much.
I don't actually do a whole lot of plowing; just when its time to make the garden bigger... I'm interested in keeping my options open, but not to the point of being impractical.

The dealer has a solution of something, I forgot what, he puts in tires that is the right thing for the climate here in the mountains, but I am wondering if separate counter weights would give me more options. I am concerned about unnecessary soil compaction when I work in the gardens, and the Kioti is a bit extra heavy already. However, I really don't want to set myself up for something that is more dangerous than it needs to be. So the question becomes, will counter weights on the back serve the same purpose as filling the tires?
