Great vid it’s interesting with loading on tractors, someone ask me yesterday about filling tyres with water, maybe you could do vid on wether this practice is considered by tractor/tyre manufacturers. I said there are few steps needed before adding weight especially filling tyres, there r pros n cons.
Jamie . . .I'm glad you liked the video. We have had other videos on how to change a tractor tire but not on how to add ballast. That is a good suggestion! Thanks for watching the show.
This video says nothing about what weights/ballasts give the best traction or efficiency for a given tyre
