Yes, weight is weight. However it matters where you put it. If your seat is cantilevered out behind the tractor and you put your butt on it it weighs the rear axle more than if you are sitting infront of the axle. Think levers here and leverage. Infront of the axle and the front axle shares the weight to some extent, behind the rear axle and you are unweighing the front axle. If you were crazy far behind the rear axle you could lift the front of the tractor with your butt. "Give me a long enough lever and I will move the world."
