Also, I was just thinking about the size of the tires that you mentioned. It seems like they could be front tires. If so, I hear that fronts shouldn't be filled if you have a loader on the tractor. I think this could be due to excessive pressure inside the tire since there would not be enough air volume inside to distribute the rise in pressure. With your tires, you should probably put about 21-22 gal in each to hit a 75% fill. At $105 dollars to fill both tires with Rimguard, it works out to be about 2.40 a gal. Not too bad a price considering even Windshield washer fluid is at least $2/gal. I would say the price the dealer quoted you is fair if this tire fill is not being done at the time of the tractor purchase.
PS. I could be over a bit on my gal/tire calc. as I am not sure how thick the tire is. I took off an inch, but I may still be high.
