Personally, I would not favor loading the tires on my BX as I want the flexibility of NOT having that extra weight on the machine when it's not needed. Using a 3pt attachment (or the BH) for any necessary added weight for traction/balance purposes works much better for me for how I use the machine. And with multiple implements, I can choose the amount of weight! About 250 lbs with the "concrete in the bucket with drawbar" attachment; about 450 lbs with the Woods 5000 chipper/shredder (new gloat...) and, of course, the big kahuna...the backhoe for serious weight during snow removal. And when I mow the grass...no extra weight, other than my fat, err...posterior.
