44 hp tractor pull this?

Loaded front tires???? This has been discussed in the past and I am not sure what the right answer is. There are those who have had loaded fronts for years without problem.
From what I hear they found it helpful for steering in snow and soft conditions.

The other group argues the added stress to the front drive and steering components is bad, especially if you are adding the weight of loader work. I can see that so I haven't loaded the fronts on mine.

Loading the rears made a huge improvement to my tractors and I would recommend it to anyone who was not doing finish mowing with their tractor.

And yes, R1's with the tires loaded.
Speaking of loaded, do I want to think about getting the front tires loaded also?

Typically, no. If you had a very heavy implement on the rear, like pallet forks, then yes. Fluid up front is for tractors without loaders and heavy weight on the 3pt that makes the nose too light. There are cases where front weight would help with traction, but I'd prefer a block of iron bolted on the front that can be removed for other times when it's not needed. And, typically it's not needed......

Do you have a loader on your tractor? then you would not want fluid up front.

Why would you get a scarifier instead of a box blade? You get essentially the same scarifier function with a box blade but have the option of tilting the box down to level or move dirt after you "scarify" it. Box blades are pretty versatile tools.

Since you are going to get R1 tires, then I would definitely get the fronts loaded. With all the loader work that you are going to be doing, the loaded tires will hold the load better.

Loading the front tires is not recommended by Kubota (specifically stated not to load front tires because it doesn't allow the tires to dampen the shock load on the front axle) and may very well void the warranty.

I can't see why you would need the front tires loaded, the front loader will be more than enough weight for your purposes.

Id look into a box blade,may get more bang for your buck.You can easily pull that with a 44hp tractor.

What? How would that work??

Less air to compress, the side walls will not bulge any where near as much.

I am thinking that you will need to plow and/or disc before even considering the use of of rototill.
