I haven't done the math in a long time, but there are those that can I'm sure. Seen them both ways here, but ultimately it depends on whether you can get weight on the front axle or not. If your front end will be heavy, put a pusher on. If its light, put a tag on. We liked tags, but all the ones we had were still adjustable in the cab though. In the field, it was easy to adjust how well the front end turned by adjusting the tag air. We ran big enough rubber on the steer axle that we could weigh 18K on the steers, you may not be able to scale that. We loaded over the drivers first, so the front end was light in the field until the last thing.
