esshup, I appreciate the advice. I thought about filling the tires or buying the weights for them back when I first purchased the tractor, but decided not to do so. I don't get in any situations where I can tip sideways, although when I start building the dams I will probably be angled more than I ever have, and may very well opt to do something.

As far as the loader, the box blade is always on the back when I use the loader. I never raise it above the hood when loaded either. So far it has never given me any indication that it wants to tip forward when loaded. But then, I don't do anything fast. I'm almost always in low range and seldom ever get over 1800 RPM on the tach unless I'm mowing. Like I said, I'm in no hurry, and I'm trying to take care of the equipment as much as I can. But any suggestions or advice is well noted. That's one reason I'm here. I listen to anything anyone has to say and appreciate all comments.
