i know it's not recommended (by kubota) to fill the rear tires if you have a backhoe attached but i really feel like i need to for stability sake, my property is generally sloped (from 2% to over 10% in places) and i always feel like i'm on the edge of my seat when running across the slope or with a loaded up fel.. i just feel like loading the tires would give me more stability in general (and i'm not so worried about denting the lawn).. so what is the consensus, how many of you have a hoe AND have the rear tires filled? have there been any poor results by doing so?
