I have a B with 12.4 x 24 Firestone Field and Road tires. Tractor has rear wheel weights, 75% calcium chloride, 3 point, front wheel, wishbone and engine weights.  The 3 point gets used a lot to pick up heavy loads. 

What PSI would you air the rear tires to?

15 PSI should be good.

At 16 PSI the max load rating for the pair is 3,740 lbs. assuming you have the standard 4 ply rated tires. Id personaly go down to 12PSI. youll get much better traction  if the tires  flex some. My C with wheel wieghts only I run at 10 PSI.

As Dave said 12 PSI. I started at 16 and gradually worked down to 12. But anything from 12-16 should work for you. Play around a bit and see what you like. You will need a fairly good gauge to be reasonably accurate at that low pressure.
