Just got off the phone with a tire guy from around here. I called to ask what he would charge to ballast the tires on my Kubota L3400.
The quote was high (as all things are around here) - $500 for the two tires which includes tubes and the service call.
He said that he usually fills with saline (sodlium chloride). First time I ever heard of this!. He says he can do calcium chloride if I want but usually does saline as it is a lot less corrosive and says it is good to minus 40 degress Celcius.
Anyone ever heard of ballasting with saline?
