Beet juice

[1930]

From the Brandon/Ocala area I think it likely that the OP may need to drive nearly to Tennessee to find a dealer who installs Rimguard/beet juice.
Maybe 600 miles?

The RK dealer I spoke with said their rims come standard loaded, I cant remember if I asked him what they were loaded with. I be surprised its straight water

They say it’s Rimguard on the website

Why is it that you dont want water?

See post 6, I welded the rim cause I didnt want to try and find another

New rims every 30 - 40yrs is cheap compared to costs of buying and dealing with a non disposable ballast for the same period.

When I bought my 2009 Kubota - it came from the dealer with RimGuard. First time I checked the rear tire pressure - got sprayed with RimGuard. Thought that flashed thru my mind - My God, what have I done to cut myself so bad. Then I got the taste of it in my mouth - sweet, like maple syrup.

I had followed the "standard procedure". Valve stem a 12 'O Clock high - The thing I didn't realize - being thick and syrupy - RimGuard doesn't easily drain out of the stem. Now I shoot a blast of air into the stem first and blow any back into the tire. Works like a champ.

However - it's been more than six years since I've actually checked the pressure with a gage. Just drive out on the driveway and make sure the bars make contact for the full width. This equals about 14 to 16 psi.

They only fill the tire 3/4 full. If you get a leak you roll it to the 12 o'clock position. If you need to add air, you roll it to the 12 o'clock position. I would fill my tires before I dealt with weights but that is just me.

I have 1550# of RimGuard in my rear tires. I don't have wheel weights for two reasons. Cost & I don't even know if I could get that much weight.

RimGuard is easy and, so far, after ten years has presented no problems.

There comes a time when mud or crud gets jammed in at the rim flange. There are many situations that will damage or destroy the valve. Punctures happen. Tires are damaged or wear out. In some situations you would like the tractor to be lighter or heavier.

All trivial with water fill.​

Put a rust preventative in it and it won't be a problem. RV antifreeze is basically food grade and includes a rust preventative. Rural King has it on sale at the moment for $1 per gallon. The soap in WW fluid will accomplish the same thing.

Very True. I ran over a buried 1" pipe, it kicked up and sheared off the rear valve stem. Very easy to refill the tire with WWF myself after it was repaired.

So that is the trick, I also tried to check tire pressure the same way and filled my tire gauge with sludge
I have not gotten an accurate measurement since I bought the M so I will give your method a try.
