It has the same effect as loading the rear tires but without adding extra weight to the rig.
Personally, I just don't mow if I think my tractor is gonna get stuck.
It's been a few years since I've mowed with that allis, But I know the mower I'm on now is at least 2500 lbs lighter(54" cut lawn tractor), and it never gets stuck or leaves ruts, even when the ground is saturated enough to leave mud trails where I've mown- so you can't say lighter isn't better. I'm not a scientist, or mathematician(or an english teacher so lay off the spelling LOL) I just do what works for me. I'm not trying to tell anybody they are wrong, because what it boils down to is that it's his/your tractor on his/your property, so whatever works best is what you/he need to do. I was just trying to offer up some advice
