Filled tires are about the best traction and stability aid you can get. It will lower the center of gravity more than wheel weights or 3pt ballast.
I would also want filled tires with a bh. Why? the BH actually has a fairly high center of gravity with the boom up. Good weight, bad stability (when compared to filled tires).
I use the winter washer fluid as it (like me) is cheap, when on sale around $1.25 a gal. The Beet juice stuff -rimgard- is better ballast as it is 33% heavier or more, but it is 3x the cost. 5# of CaCl2 dissolved in 1 gal water is old time usual ratio for winter fill, but that solution is corrosive and will eat the rims over the years. It is cheap initially, but long term can be expensive when you need to replace rims. Around here you can bring your tractor for CaCl2 fill for around $0.75 a gallon or they will fill at your place for $1.25.
There is also foam fill that is slightly lighter than WWF, but protects against flats. It is priced higher than rimgard and is a pure evil PITA when you need to replace tires.
