I had a kioti ck20 a few years back. Very light in front with backhoe on. Had front tires filled but that didn't make a difference. Tires are not big enough to put enough weight in them to make a difference. If you are planning on getting one of the machines you are looking at they are balanced very well with the one seat operation. The backhoe doesn't sit back as far as other models. I personally wouldn't fill rears either. I filled mine on my L45 (rears) thinking i would be doing a lot of work with backhoe off, but very well balanced with backhoe on. I never take the backhoe off except to use 3pt hitch. Just my option. You do what would work best for you. Nate
Ok, so I think you are saying dont bother filling the tires, as it didnt make much difference with your machines?
Now, is your land hilly? I dont know if that would make a difference in the decision or not...
Also, I felt that the B21 was very balanced also.
I did get the front and rear up off the ground a few times, but it was predictable and easy to deal with and I didnt feel in any danger. And I was running that rental a lot harder than I would my own personal tractor, lol
