I think you're both right and both wrong. It all depends on the conditions. There are cases where weight will help, there are cases where weight won't make a lick of difference. Chains will always help, but are much less effective if there isn't enough weight to get them to bite, but I would guess that is much less often the case.
But neither of those issues is what the OP had asked about in the first place. He asked about the ballast box and how the effect would change whether it was up or down.
I'm not sure why you said I'm both right and wrong when you just made the exact points I've been making. Weight alone will sometimes be enough and chains always help...while weight plus chains would be even better. I've never said that weight alone always helped, just that sometimes it's enough.
I've been saying all along that the OP asked a different question, but he did bring up the topic of adding weight (to the front).
