Brand new tractor - should I load the tires myself?

   / Brand new tractor - should I load the tires myself? #31  
I had Dave of Dave's Tractors do my Branson with RG, $100 for the rear pair total, including new metal valve stems.
Well worth the Bucks.
For my Kubota B5100, I got winter washer fluid at the local Dollar store, a buck each...
No pump, but gravity is your friend!
I already had the fill adapter from doing the Ford 861 (just H2O so far, it's in SoCal...)
Weight = Traction + CounterBalance.

Just as an update, I finally got around to filling my tires. It was easy, really. Did it myself, with -20 windshield washer fluid. I used a cheap 12v Harbor freight 200gph "marine" pump and it worked great. I bought a 55gal drum of the stuff from NAPA and the remainder of the fluid I got on sale at Lowes. Put 38 gallons into each tire. Took me about 3 hours.

Much better performance. Like having a new tractor.

Thanks for all the advice.
