BioBallast Price

[Slowpoke Slim]

-40F windshield washer fluid is not available in Bismark?

No.

It's only available in Florida.


*Or, perhaps I went with Rimguard for the additional weight that was important to me, in my specific application. But, whatever.

Well aware of what Rimguard is. Well known up here. Everyone calls it Rimguard. Farmers, ranchers, tractor dealers, they all call it "Rimguard".

I have it in my tires. Highly recommend it.

Never heard anyone ever call it "BioBallast". Not on the TBN forums, or here locally. Never.

Always been called "Rimguard".

So BioBallast is Rimguard.

Check.

Got it.

Bioballast and Rimguard are two different companies with similar products.

Nope, we never need -40F WWF fluid in FL.
It is definitely in Bismark/Mandan

I have BioBallast in mine, it's what my Kubota dealer sold. When I looked into it their website said it wasn't beat juice but wasn't clear on exactly what it was. Some other similar food processing byproduct I believe. Non-toxic, non-corrosive; cost, weight & freeze point were close enough I stopped investigating. Happy with it do far still.

I thought it weighed more like 11 pounds per gallon.

Hum...mmm 94 gallons of windshield washer fluid would cost about $120, weight= 714 lbs.(7.6 lbs. per gal. - straight water is 8.33)
94 gal. of BioBallast cost $400, weight= 1037 lbs.(9.7 lbs. per gal.)
Weight difference= 323 lbs.
Cost to gain that 323 lb. difference= $280 more than WWF.

And then......you get a parked overnight flat!

Rim guard is 11 lbs per gallon. So if your tires hold 90 plus gallons that痴 another 270 lbs of ballast. Worth the money? Your call.
