So we had a blizzard in my area recently. I had 18"+ on my driveway. The 2015 with no fluid did fine until I got to a hill. I was scooping snow out and dumping to the side. Once I got to the hill (around 12% slope) I got stuck in the road. I could not back up the incline with the loader filled and eventually I got stuck (couldn't push myself out with loader). I'm Monday morning quarter backing now on the merits of filling the tires with ballast. I'm thinking antifreeze and water. The chart I found for my R4 tires show 15 gal (or 160 #/wheel) rear and 5.5 gal ( or 59 #/wheel) would be obtained by filling. The question is would the ballast help?
