Can you add weights to the 700 or would it just sink more in the mud?

Good idea, I think wheel weights would be the best as it would keep the balance better

If you bolted some brackets onto the wheel, and then tapped them out it would be easy to put the weights on, with long bolts. I would make the weights by burning to shape layers of 10mm plate.

Not without removing the wheel weights.
