John Deere tire & ballast setups for loader work

[SiteSupporter]

So, what tire and ballast setups do you guys find work best for heavy loader jobs on Deere tractors? I'm after good grip, so it's stable and the lift capacity is safe.

I run a 5100E and went with radial R1s plus liquid ballast in the rears. It gave me better traction and kept the rear planted when lifting heavy pallets.

Cast wheel weights and loaded rears, along with wider R4 industrial tires, have worked well for us. They give solid traction and better sidewall stability when carrying loads.
