When putting water in the tires, you need to put a jack under the tractor axle to keep the tire from going completely flat. If allowed to go all the way down, it just might break the bead seals and then you may have a problem getting them to seat back.
One guy here had a unique way of getting the antifreeze into the tire. He just attached a piece of tubing to the valve stem and put the other in in the antifreeze jug (this is after letting out all the air) He then lowered his jack to compress the tire a bit to squeeze out more air, jacked it back up and let the suction pull all the antifreeze into the tire. Repeat as needed to get all the antifreeze in the tire. NO PUMP needed and no funnel to try to pour it in. Position the tire with the stem TDC and fill with water till you stop getting air out when burping. You may have to add air to get the correct tire pressure, but more than likely you will need to take air out.
