I did some figuring the other day. The 9150 on the grain cart is kinda light up front when the cart's loaded. The drawbar pin to the the rear axle is about 4'2". It's about 18 1/2 feet from rear axle to the nose of the tractor. If we were to hang some suitcase weights about a foot and a half in front of the nose of the tractor, 20 feet from the axle, that would affect the balance of the tractor 5 times as much as the same amount of weight on the drawbar, right? So 1,000 pounds of suitcase weights would be like removing about 5,000 pounds off the drawbar, as far as balance goes?
Yes, I know, the weight will still be on the drawbar, I'm talking balance and weight bias, not actual drawbar load.
The book says to add fluid in the tires for ballast, but there's mounts for fertilizer tanks up front that carry 5500 pounds of liquid fertilizer (plus tanks and pump). They should carry a ton of weight easily, and the weight should be more effective farther forward.
