Loading Tractor tires
Has anyone here successfully loaded tractor tire with liquid?
I'm in WI so I'm supposing some calcium Chloride would be in order. I've located the device that would allow to fill while the air bleeds out. Thoughts and experiences appreciated. Thanks! Pete

We filled my tires with windshield wash. A little more expensive but far less corosive.

I use magnesium chloride in my tires. The important thing is to be sure to use a tube in the tire. mix it up in a couple trash cans and pump it into the tire with a piston pump through the fitting. Not too difficult to do

beet juice, completely non toxic. You will someday get a flat and you don't want the household dog licking anything up. Also you don't want corrosion. I ended up just paying the dealership to do it, it wasn't much in labor and they have the tools to handle such large tires

filled tires
Filled mine with rim guard. After my last ones were cancered out because of a leak in the tube. It will handle the cold weather we get in Wisc. and not rot out your rims if it does leak

x2 on the windshield washer fluid. I used a drill pump with an adapter from a can of fix-a-flat to be able to screw on to the tube valve. For our 13.9x26 tires, I used 30 gal of washer fluid (the winter stuff rated down to -20) and 10 gal of water per tire. Still room for another 5 gal per tire. It wieghs less than calcium, but a whole lot less toxic.
I jacked up one side, let the air out of the tire, screwed on the drill pump/adapter and pumped in 5 gal at a time. It builds up some pressure, so stopping between jugs also lets the pressure escape. In all, it took me about 3 hours to do. And I was taking my time.

We fill ours with old antifreeze. A local garage near us gives us all the old stuff we want. Just have to pump it in. It's not corosive and is free. Not sure on the toxivity level (i know some antifreezes are non-toxic but this is a mix of everything).

Filled Tires
Pete, I got it in Phillips but any implement dealer should be able to help you. Where are you located? I've got plenty of weight with it. I've got a Allis Chalmers WD With a loader on it, and I get plenty of traction with it.
