I got my first puncture yesterday in driver's side rear tire (XUV 850D). I drove over a "punji" in a recently cleared trail. I used a DC compressor to inflate the tire to get out of the woods. It looks like it's holding pressure with the repair I made.
I usually take care to cut saplings and brush low, with a flat top, so I don't expect to have too many incidents like this, but I'm thinking the Slime might help prevent another incident.
I haven't used Slime in my tractor or gator, what do you guys think?

I used Slime to stop some slow leaks in tires recently. I wouldn't trust it to seal a larger puncture from a sapling. I think you would be better off removing the tire and installing a patch inside the tire.

I put it in all 4 tires on my 4 wheeler. The locust thorns were causing me to have pin hole leaks on a regular basis. The ATV type slime has eliminated those problems. I'm a firm convert if you have a danger of small punctures.

Slime is about as important as the fuel that goes into our Utility vehicles and ATV's.
Without it, we wouldn't go very far >>>>

The Kubota, has 1/2 gallon per tire
The Honda Rubicons, 32 oz. bottle per tire


Slime does work wonders >>>

Honey Locust in the swamps is heck on them tires >>>>>

Thanks, guys. I've only had one puncture, and I would just as soon not have a repeat. I put about 20 oz. in each tire, so far so good.
