I just loaded my tires on my JD4700, 16.9x24 R1 tires with a new product called Rim Guard. It's made from sugar beets and looks like molasses and won't freeze. It's 1/2 lb. heavier than calcium chloride per gal. At 11lbs. and cost $1.50 to $1.75 per gal. + labor. I used 122 gallons, 75% full =1342 lbs. That should hold me down when I'm using the backhoe. The nice thing about this stuff is that it's nontoxic and environmentally safe and it wont (RUST). Also before I had them do it I had the tire guy put little short valve stems in the rim, like less than a 1/2 inch long. It should help from getting ripped off in the woods.
