Picking up my new Mahindra 5035 from a dealer in FL on Thursday for use at my home in the mountains of Western NC. For several reason, filling the tires is a must for me. I had wanted to go with Rimguard but after working with their sales rep., it's clear that there are no convenient dealers anywhere near to me. She did suggest that I may be able to travel to Asheville, NC and buy the Rim Guard in bulk from the dealer there. Since the FL dealer I am getting the tractor from normally uses only water to fill with, I am left to figure out how I can obtain a bulk supply of fluid and fill them myself.
The rears will use 73 gallons each and the fronts 22 gallons each. That's a total of 190 gallons so I guess it would take 4 @ "55 gallon drums". Man that seems like a HUGE amount of fluid to fill these tires.
It's a simple job but I have no idea where to find either bulk RV Anti-Freeze or bulk Windshield Washer Fluid. My preference is the RV antifreeze if I can't get the Rim Guard. Any suggestions??
