Do you think the weight from filling the tires is worse than the weight that would be on them with full load on the FEL?[/QUOTE]

Not at all, but I don't ride around with a full load on the FEL all of the time, and when I do, I am careful steering it. I was just thinking of the extra weight that the steering knuckles had to push or pull with the tractor stopped or barely moving.

I have a MF GC 2600 SCUT. I asked the dealer to fill all four turf tires with RimGuard when I bought it. I have some rather steep sloped areas that I mow, plus I do snow removal with the FEL and backblade. I have also used the FEL a lot, moving around 80 tons of black dirt and stone for landscaping and a driveway extension. I have no real traction issues, and I am glad to have the extra weight down low on the slopes.

Even loaded, the turf tires don't rip up the lawn. I do have a slight concern about compaction when driving over the same piece of lawn when moving dirt and rock from a pile, but a got a core aerator, so I think I am ok there.

some things not mentioned.... is... 4x4 and mfwd drive tractors. were filling front tires could add beneficial traction.

2wd tractors would filling fronts be of any benefit? i am guilty, with that green goop, that is suppose to seal leaks if ya get a thorn or nail in tire. in my front tractor tires.

bush hogging / rotatory cutter on rear of tractor more so if it is a 3pt hitch type. some added weight in front can keep them front tires on the ground, when ya raise the bush hog. or other heavy weight and/or long attachment in back.

==============
have not seen mention of overall extra weight and taking toll on bearings / front axles / front end drive train for 4x4/MFWD tractors. beyond noting manufactures not suggesting it in manuals. taking guess due to extra load would be extra wear on all the mechanical parts, causing quicker wear / failure of things.
