Did you try Artificial Ignorance ..??
“A 15x19.5 R4 tire and wheel assembly can weigh between 104 and 170 pounds, depending on the specific tire type and construction. A tire only, without the wheel, can weigh between 104 and 170 lbs,”
I guess they must have weighed it with an invisible wheel.
From what I found it will weigh between 225 to 239lbs per tire and wheel.
Antifreeze will add about 279 lbs per tire, to a total of 504 to 518 lbs per tire.
Is that enough rear ballest for an L3301 HST with 525 FEL?
What is everyones take in this?

You don’t mention what you are trying to lift that requires ballast…but unless you’re trying to lift over 2K pounds….(and a 525 loader isn’t rated for that much)…. You may not need ballast at all.
Ballast is a lot of expense and trouble in my opinon. My tires have air in them. Nothing else.
I typically lift 1500 lbs with my 1002 FEL and never have any problems. (if you DO lift so much it makes you too light in the rear-end…use 4WD …make no fast or sharp turns….and keep the load LOW.)
