A lot of dealers automatically put ballast in the rear tires when a tractor is sold with a front loader. It's just good practice unless there is a customer-specific reason not to.
You're lucky you didn't roll the tire off the rim, that is a bad situation to get into. If the bead was broken and liquid escaped, your next risk is getting that bead to reseat and stay reseated. Pay attention to see if the rim spins inside the tire under traction loads once you get everything fixed.
Stay on top of tire pressure. Letting a tractor tire go flat can cause a range of problems, from minor inconvenience to dangerous.
