Yep small tractors will loose traction usually way before power. Thats why ballast is your friend on a small tractor.
On my 25hp tractor I have the rears filled with WW fluid bit thats only like 9.?? Gallons so only 75lb a tire. And have almost 200lb on the front to hold it down. I wish I could get ahold of some wheel weights to add another few hundred pounds to the rear. The tractor pulled ground engaging implements totally different when I filled the rears. Only that 150# made all the difference. It spins the rears less now when it pulls.
I only have a 2wd tractor though so I loose it easier than all those baby 4wd tractors. I think 4wd is equal to something like an additional 2-4hp??
