1910 Rear Weights Yes/No

Hi...Another post by me,trying to get info on a used 84 1910 I bought...
I guess sometimes things do work backwards...
Such as so many questions,after the fact... Ha...Ha
In any case now I'm trying to find out about the rear wheel traction on the 1910 model,and if it's going to do the jobs I need...
I have a small 5 acre place,and other than brush hogging (just grass)the only real traction problem may be with the 5' box blade...(less scrapers).
I need to move/spread a lot of brought in fill dirt,and top soil.
So the scrapers really aren't needed...
It's just the ability of the 1910 without rear weights to pull a loaded 5' box blade???
Without much rear spin...The tractor will be picked up this weekend,by me...
I have pretty much been satisfied with checking it out..
I of course have read about the addition of water to the rear wheels for traction...
I'm in Louisiana (flat land)so there's no need for pulling up hills.
If I go with the added water,in the wheels...
What are the drawbacks..of going this route??
Other than the obvious rust causing problems within the wheels...???
Are there any kinda tricks,like an additive to the water...Or just use plain water???
I was wondering how a bit of anti corrosive antifreeze would work.
I'm just being speculative has to how best to apply this added weight via water...
I suppose I could try to find factory wheel weights...I haven't seen any for sale for the 1910 factory or otherwise though.....
Just to mention...the tractor does have the front weights...
It is a 2 wheel drive version,and the simplest in design...
By that it's a standard 4 speed/with aux 4,and no power steering. 1220 hrs,and seems to be well maintained.
I actually think I'd have more added weight to the rear wheels going with water vs the wheel weights..
Being in Louisiana a hard solid freeze to the water I don't think would ever happen..
I'm 58 and have never seen that kinda freeze here yet...
I just don't want to go into the water adding bit,and then find that I should have never made such a move...As it is,the rear tires are nearly new,and the rear wheels look nearly new.The front tires are original .... At maybe 75% still good.
Thanks for any practical advise.....
The owner said he ran low pressure in the rear tires.
When he lifted the 5' bush hog that was attached,there was a noticeable springiness in the
rear tires.I don't know if that low pressure,was for traction,or the ease of ride comfort...
Maybe both...I'll have to ask him,exactly what he meant by low pressure..... In PSI....
I couldn't get much info,due to the tractor,being inherited by the wife from her dad.
They want to sale it all.
The husband,said that sense they've had the tractor (less than a year)he had only ever used the scraper blade,Soooooooo
For $6,000 I got the tractor,A new Bush Hog brand 9" auger,A new Woods 5' box blade.A 5' brush mower,A 5' scraper blade,and a 5' stiff tine adjustable harrow..... I fill it was a good deal..
