There no weight to it, beside it can freeze to fast.

no weight? It's more dense than air.. and DOES have weight.

You can also get ww fluid that comes in neg 32 mixes.. even in florida... i have seen mixes inthe high neg 20's and 0 here in florida.. and during the summer.. it's just regular 32F mix

i still prefer eco AF

Sorry I didn't see you are in Fla. Use what you want. It's your tractor.

i like tubes anyway.. loaded or not!

May I ask in your opinion what's the drawback of tractor tubeless tires? I own 2 tractors with tubeless tires(1 since '93) with no problems. I personally dislike tubes especially in drought conditions when Mesquite tree sprouts thrive.

Soundguy,

I like that idea. Do you know if the Eco Af can be diluted to a 50/50 ratio? Or just use it straight?

The RV and Marine antifreeze I buy is ready to use in the jug and is rated to -50°F. It is already something like a 55 or 60% propylene glycol mix in the jug.

Here is a link from Dow for one of their products: http://msdssearch.dow.com/PublishedLiteratureDOWCOM/dh_0073/0901b80380073445.pdf?filepath=heattrans/pdfs/noreg/180-01530.pdf&fromPage=GetDoc

i always dilute AF.. straight AF will have a higher freeze point than slightly dilute AF.

I would dilute for sluchy or better. you just don't want a solid freeze

i'm in fla.. not the OP>

still doesn't address the fact that you think that WW fluid has no weight and cannot be had in different mixes for freeze protection.

I assure you.. ww fluid.. has more weight than AIR!!!

when running low pressure or in some loader situations where you are turning loaded.. etc. a tubless can roll off a bead easier than a tubed.

If I was in a thorny area.. i'd go foam filled.. or heavy boots...

Happy Rim Guard user here in all four tires, the dealer threw it in for free. Non-toxic, non corrosive, very heavy, doesn't freeze. What's not to like?

 

[Soundguy]

on the non toxic side.. just remember.. don't dump a load of it on your grass or in your fish pond..
