I have an AC 8070 with front wheel assist and a Hardie Ditch Bank mower on the back . I have beet juice in both front tires. Duel wheels on the rear with fluid and weights . I have the complete set of front weights on the tractor. My issue is the tractor is still light in the front . I have an idea of putting duels on the front filled with beet juice also. Anybody on here done this with a AC 8070 before ? Are there any draw backs to such an application ? This would give me more weight up front and stability as I mow on hill sides and next to a pond. Thank You, Rodney.

I wouldn't. The king pins area isn't very robust and duals on the front won't help that. You do what you want.

If you need more front end weight you could put a tank of water on the front.

I agree with Doc. May consider a different tractor for that application.  Sounds like your pushing the limit as is.  My ol AC mechanic told me to take care of the fwa on my 8050, "Some day it will be a 2 wheel drive that looks like a fwa."

Uncle always said "Fill the back of the shovel and the front will take care of itself".
