Have a question again about loading R4 tires on the TC26 New Holland. I am seriously thinking of loading the rear tires for a couple of reasons. One a lower center of gravity and stability and traction especially on slopes another for addittional weight with or without the ballast box and with or without the loader attached. This is for the rear R4 tires. Now would it be an atvantage or disadvantage to load the front R4's also? I know for sure it would probally not be good with the loader on at times though. Anyone have further ideas or suggestions of experiences on this? Thank you.

earthwrks,I had just given it some thought that loaded rear tires especially without the loader attached would give me more traction in certain situations or ground conditions. I really could not use the ballast box obviously when pulling anything behind.Front weight I don't think would be needed with loader though only when pulling something without the loader attached. More comments please?

To all who have responded,thanks about what I felt and is a problem with the R4 tires. I can see for sure that the tractor weight is also a problem as I stated on the straight runs the tires leave tracks obviously from the weight,2000lbs.sinking in to some extent. Now my next question is would the turf tires be any less of a problem? There are occassions when I would need to use the loader and a rototiller though.

Has anyone got a New Holland TC26DA that could comment pros or cons as to it's use. I have just started using one and it handles very nicely. Seems to be a little heavy for yard work mowing etc. with the wet weather we have had as far as tracting though. Have not used the loader yet or other implements. Overall is well built and plenty of grease fittings.
