One thing to remember is that weight on the wheels, fluid or cast weights, has a lower center of gravity. When you put a weight on the three point you have counter balanced straight/level lift. However when you are on a side slope your weight is higher on the tractor. I sold a man a small compact utility tractor. He worked in a factory and brought home two three foot square 2 inch thick pieces of steel. They weighed over 800 lbs. He made a hitch to mount them on his three point.

After that I always made every loader tractor I sold have fluid or wheel weights.
