It was a joke to the above
But in answer to your question yes you can add ballast & weight to agricultural by filling tyres with liquid , it's usually water+ antifreeze tho ,, google it
Tyre company's have recommendations & some tractor company's advise it in certain situations like " John Deere "

Back on topic ,
Still a nice pic cooky !!!!
