I know filling tires questions there are 101+ threads here. I've read many over last couple years.
But can't find info on draining. (Please read before answering "6 o'clock")
This is my dilemma:
Live in Florida and have a high water table. Really high most of the times.
I use my jd 2320 on 2.5 arcers. With FEL ....I use alot. Most of the time a bucket of dirt here and there.
Made a ballistic out of a 50 gal drum filled with concrete. (If I remember it's around 350 lbs....wished I'd made it heavier....I cut off some of the top....thinking filled would be to heavy. Don't ask why I thougjt this....lol...)
Anyhow. ..this work great for me for 95% of the time.
But...with drought....want to dig out a shallow pond I have. Need more weight. Already bought the adapter to fill tires and made a shut off valve at the tire. (So I don't have to keep walking back to turn water on/off while bleeding air)
Anyhow. ...I am very nervous about filling the tires. My yard gets soft alot.....because of the high water table. What I'm afraid of is with tires filled....I may cause to many ruts.
So.....if I fill tires and decide I don't like it because of ruts or rougher ride (have suspension seat for extreme bad back and still not enough for my back at times)
But if I drain water at the 6:00 position. .....then find a small hose to siphon most of remainder water....do I or should I worry about what I don't get out? Will ....I'd guess a 1/2 cup or so of water that would still remain cause rim to rust??
If yes, anyone have suggestions on what I should do?
