I think I would just remove the fluid and leave it at that.

I use 1,000lb of suitcase weights on the front of my 70hp tractor to pull a 3-16 rollover plow and no fluid in the rear tires or wheel weights. The tires rarely slip. If they do I just lift the plow a little and have all the weight I need.

Oh, I'm using 13" tires in the back and 7.50's on the front plowing in thick clay type of soils.

The front weight is to keep the front end down when picking up the plow and for general stability. With a 3 point hitch plow with the tractor moving all of the benifit plus some is transfered to the rear wheels. Think of a pry bar lifting something up - that 600lbs you have on the front is acting like a lot more.

I also pull a IH 37 8" disk with new blades all the way down with our wheel slipage or problem. I can even pull a 14' disk & grain drill (only down enugh to level the field) - wheel slipage isn't the problem HP is
