With a loader, you need the fluid & probably then some yet. Got a Ford 7700 tractor, it came with fluid in all 4 tires. That'sa a lot of weight. No loader. Wondered about that. Over the years: When plowing in my clay, I can still lift the front end up. It has more traction for field cultivating with singles than my unweighted TW-20 does with duals in the right conditions. I now run a round baler on it, big 5x6, sure feels stable on the road & water ditches. Pull 500bu of grain with it to the elevator, sure is nice to be able to start - and stop - with it. Run a backhoe on it from time to time. No problem, even without a loader. Haul the round bales on the back of it from the 5x6 baler. Nice & stable. Turns out 25 years later, the fluid in all 4's on a big heavy tractor is a good thing - even without a loader. I'm sure I wore a set of tires out quicker because of the fluid, but - I got the work done that might not have too. One front tire is still original on it. Original fliud in it. The rears are tubeless. Take care of your stuff, & the rust will be minor compared to the work you can do. With a loader, you need weight on the back, the more the better. Fill them 75%, and look for weights as well. Anything less is foolish. --->Paul
