Not sure what you are talking about, according to my manual tire ballast is for “traction” and “stability”.What kind of bait and switch is it if your ballasted so that you can safely lift the weight the FEL and tractor was built (and sold) to do, and this overloads the front axle?
Also, rear ballast takes weight off the front axle.
The loader manual says it may be used in addition to a counter weight on the 3PT but 3PT is the primary.
