I would like to add weight to my B2301. I was considering having the tires filled with liquid and adding some weights to the wheels. Can anyone make any suggestions?

you'll get about 12 gallons each rear.....adding about 200 lbs total. I take it you have a FEL? IF so, then invest in a ballast box for the 3 point. The ballast box will cost you less than finding/buying weights for the outside of rims, and the box will be easier to remove. Many have made their own, some cost as little as 50 bucks!

I have fluid in my tires, additional wheel weights and still put a minimum of 1100 pounds counter balance, you really can't beat counter weight for getting the most out of your tractor.

An old water heater tank filled with cement & chained to the back of a box blade works pretty good. And pretty cheap.
