Tires Molasses filled tires

[Jnasystems]

Well, I called my dealer back and he said it was rimguard. That is kinda a let down that maybe my tractor isn't as sweet as I thought. He said he just likes to call it molasses because that is what it is like to him. I asked him how much to fill my 13.6x28 tires on the AC WD - $3.25 per gallon and he said I could put in as much or as little as I wanted - is there a reason not to put in the full 86 gallons besides cost? It would seem to me that the more weight the better. I am wanting to use the tractor to pull a 3 bottom plow, a 9 ft disk, a 2 row planter and a hay wagon. There may be times I want to trailer it to a show, but I don't have a trailer yet, so I would get one capable of hauling it and any attachments I may want to take.

Well bring him a jar of molasses so he can remember the differences.

I was thinking of filling my tires with waste motor oil. Anyone ever try this? I can usually find it for free and I think it would be a little heavier than water, dont think it will freeze either.

I know a spill would be a mess though.

oil is less dense than water

That's right. Maybe your tractor would just float over the snow and never get stuck.

You gotta laugh how things are taken literally sometimes , we call WD40 Cats piss so I'm glad he didn't say that you should put some of that on the wheel nuts .

G'day not only a mess but will destroy your tyres/tubes if fitted if you want to see for yourself get an old bit of tube and soak it in oil for a month and see what is left

This would be a very bad idea. It would rot your tires off and if someone wanted to make trouble for you and you did have a leak they could call the DEC. Spilled oil in the amount you are talking would be considered a toxic spill and the clean up would need to go to a hazmat land fill.

Oil once it has been used in an engine is considered to be a carcinogen.

You would be better off using waste cooking oil, but it would still rot the tires.

i just use water and antifreeze. I fill mine full cuz if not ull get a slugish feel with the water sloshing around.

Fill the tires so that the 'rimguard' covers the rims, when the tire is standing up...........he can judge this if he's done it for a while.


And.........if you can get past the smell, please taste the 'rimguard to see if it is sweet.:thumbsup:
