a business tractor Massey Ferguson 1835E 4wd loader ..... I got a 3rd function valve and grapple for it. I didn't get the HST transmission as I am not a fan of them and for a 35hp tractor I didn't want the transmission to take 4hp cause it doesn't have much to spare.

I'd donate a few Hp to not have to clutch to shift any day. Also get work done much faster as an average.

I think HST is best for doing alot of loader work. Shuttle shift suits me fine. The work I'm doing I can set it and kick back no need to constantly be pushing a pedal.

You have a nice machine. I didn't notice you got shuttle shift.
Definately R1's if you are in loose dirt, especially when wet. R4's have their place, they're good in yards where you don't work when it's extremely wet or in construction area where you might pick up nails. What did the dealer load the tires with beet juice or windshield washer fluid?

Some type of alcohol mixed with water I think he said I'll double check but I'm sure that's what he said

Probably a high percentage (like 99%) isopropyl alcohol in water, 8 oz per gal of water and double the alcohol for more protection from freezing.
