Traction Adding water to rear tires

   / Adding water to rear tires #11  
Even in PA, it is likely you could get away with just plain water if your tractor is in a heated garage, as it takes many hours to freeze a volume of water like a tractor tire. Also being black they will soak up sunlight and produce heat even in freezing air. And likely being back in a heated garage at night it would likely never freeze unless exposed to long term outside usage in cloudy conditions (oh yeah wintertime:)) The ingredient that you are interested in in WW fluid is Methanol aka Methyl alcohol. You can buy this in bulk and mix with water to make your own solution.. You don't need any ammonia as you are not trying to clean bugs off of glass.

It's not a heated garage but nothing ever freezes out there or at least not yet. I didn't want to use the methanol because it is toxic, ammonia isn't toxic. There is also a formula that uses rubbing alcohol which shouldn't be toxic. I just want to add some weight, not have to install tubes, and not rot out my rim Rim Guard is just so expensive it weighs more but that is expensive weight. Yea I could probably just use water and get away with it but I would like some protection and also trying to help out the OP at the same time.
