I just found another thread here that said 75% on a 26x12x12 holds 10 gallons. It was quoted from the Goodyear Farm Tire Handbook. I bought my 20 jugs of washer fluid after reading a reference here from Firestone.

Don't want to bust your bubble, but thats only about a total of 200 pounds, total.
I don't see any improvement here.

It may not sound like much but 200lbs on a 1400lbs machine is 14%.

Loading the rear tires was enough for my hoe to take a bite where as before, it would lift the tractor.
Also made it less tippy on the hill I had to traverse.

I can attest, the extra 200lbs makes a significant difference. Much more stable on slopes and better traction when using the FEL.

I too can attest it makes all the difference in the world too loading those tiny rear tires.

Yes. It is also 200 lbs down low. You can't get weight much lower than that. Does a lot to the stability of the machine.

Rimguard said I needed air/liquid (metal) valve stems... assuming the BX2360 has rubber ones or not?

Rimguard told me 8.9 gallons on the 26x12-12 turf FYI...

From what I've read here several times from our colleagues 75% is enough to keep the rim submerged and generally if you press the valve in withit set at 12 oclock you will get fluid back out but it will likely spit some air as well. That's where mine are right now with over 10 gallons. I don't know whose manual is correct but they obviously don't agree.
