Our pull is tonight and it rained yesterday looking to see what a good setup for the 4000# 4500# 5000# .should I weight it heavy on the front or move them to the middle?

Watch those who pull before you. No one here has a crystal ball to know track conditions or your tractor.

so how did you do? how was the track, in general the more grip the track has the more weight you want on the front to keep the front end down. the slicker the track the more weight on the back, usually for the 3500 pound class i throw a weight on the front and maybe one on the back and fill the rest of the remaining weight in on the middle brackets just in front of the axle as this gives you a little weight in front and in back

i should also mention that an optimal pull has your front end bobbing up in down, when it does that you can steer when it is on the ground, yet you know you have good enough traction to pull the front end up

Even the village idiot knows to look at the length of chain hooked to the sled . longer the chain typicaly more weight is needed on rear of tractor , Shorter chain needs more on front of tractor. the holes you dig also tells alot about whither the tires are over or under inflated. the rest is knowing your tractor and track condition lol
