Rear weights and loading the rear tires will help with the braking and pulling power of your tractor.
We do not know the OP's location. We do not know the OP's experience in operating tractors, other than the M. We do not know if the M's rear tires are loaded with liquid now. We do not know what type of tires he has now, nor sharpness of tread.
The OP's M7060 is the heaviest tractor still considered a compact tractor, at about 5,000 pounds bare weight. If the OP has rear tire ballast already, he will have to consider possibility of rutting the ground when it is wet if wheel weights are added in addition to liquid ballast. It seems unlikely that the OP is engaged in ag work for his income. Rutting may be a big negative.
I SPECULATE liquid rear tire ballast on an M adds 900 pounds to bare tractor weight.
I SPECULATE cast wheel centers on an M add 1,000 pounds to bare tractor weight.
