On the serious side, if possible you can take the tractor to the tire dealer and save quite a bit towards the bill. I agree that if you have a loader you will regret leaving the ballast out. But if you do make sure you take it out of both tires, it is dangerous to have only one loaded. And if you do try to catch it in bucket it won't work as you think. Even if the tire is deflated the fluid comes out in a good long stream. BTDT more than I would like to admit. You will want to put a hose over the stem and turn the tire down. And put the other end in a barrel not buckets because there is more in there than you realize.
And lastly, I will challenge the idea that a cast weighted tractor will pull more than a loaded tire of the same weight if we are talking bias tires. Experience has shown me otherwise. And the better ride is the reason. Ballast takes the bounce out of the tire allowing it to stick to the ground better. IMHO
