I have a new Kubota l3940, and I am thinking of adding rimguard to the tires.
I hear a lot of recomendations calling for 75% fill. The WHY always seems to say stability.
The engineer in me says that if i need a more stable tractor, that i should add weight, but only below the center line of the axles. This would give the tractor moper weight below the CG making it harder to tip. If weight is added above CG it could cause a tip, thought not likely.
So i went out to start cuting down a bank and I feel the tractor could use a little weight.
I was thinking of filling to the 50% level. Any disadvantages to having less liquid? All I can think of is maybe an effect at high speed. Anthing else i have not considered?
