Tire type, ballast amount and type as well as transmission type are all best discussed in the context of specific planned uses.
Plowing: Ags, lots of tire ballast and gear.
Mowing: R4 or turf, little or no ballast and either transmission.
Lots of loader work: R4, lots of tire ballast and HST
General mixed duty: R4, some ballast (mixed fluid, wheel weights plus just keeping something heavy and compact on the 3PT, tranny is personal here but IMO it is notable that very few HST owners wish they bought gear.
