Weight of filled tires

[BXman98]

If you fill the rear tires of a kubota BX2370 with R4's, how much will the tires both weigh after filled with ballast?

I think about 10 gallons per tire. So it depends on what you fill it with. WW fluid is ~8# per gallon, so that would add 80#. Rimguard or calcium is ~11# per gallon, so would add 110# to the empty tire weight. Which I would guess to be maybe 40#

RimGuard has a table that lists by tire size weight and gallons.

What's the tire size?

 

[BXman98]

R4 tire size for kubota BX straight from the kubota specs list 26x12-12.

A 26x12-12 holds 10 gal.

In the Pacific NW we have a company called Tire Distribution Systems. TDS quote estimate was $77 front, $112 rear, each, Turnaround in 2-4 days.
TDS said the estimation table suggested 44 lbs each for front, 114lbs each for rear. But they billed for 51 lbs in the fronts and 133 lbs each rear. I did not weigh the wheels before or after,,,,, wish i had.

BX24 Front Tire Size 18X8.5-10
BX24 Rear Tire Size 26X12-12

I don't have the BX24 anymore (sold it).

holy crap that's way to expensive, i think that me and my father will just go to a family friends garage and have them fill it.
