When I say you are not adding weight, I mean for the tractor to haul around. The only energy the tractor is using is the small amount it takes to overcome inertia to get the tractor moving & keep it moving. The water simply stays mostly in the bottom part of the tire while the tire goes around. You also escape the possibility of injury by not having to bother with a very heavy ballast box and having to store it somewhere. Of course, if you were to weigh the tractor it will weigh more and you definitely will be hauling more weight if you plan to put the tractor on a trailer and take it somewhere. Hope this helps. Works great for me, but may not be for everyone.

Checked with a Kubota dealer & found trator like I was looking for. The model is L3430 with ac cab. Has 34 hp, which is all I need. Now have JD4100 (with 20hp), which I love, except has no ac. Smallest tractor JD has with ac cab is a 53hp, and costs about $5,000 more, and will be more expensive to operate. Any reason I should look further. Don't want to underbuy or overbuy.

The jd4110 replaced the 4100, which is what I have. I put on a FEL and have been able to do anything I wanted to with the 20hp diesel engine & 4 wheel drive. Granted, it might take longer than a 50 hp tractor would, but look at the difference in price for the tractor & loader. I also have a 60" mid mount mower & 4' cutter. I have 4.5 acres & it does fine. Would like an ac cab, but the power might not be enough for that. Considering selling my tractor & getting a larger one ONLY because of the ac. Have chronic sinus problems. Do belive you would be sorry if you buy anything smaller than the 4100 or 4110 for any loader work.

I have the same concers about power. That is why I might sell or trade my 4100, but I hate to do it because it is just the right size and very economical to operate.
Thanks for the replys!
