Filling tires is meant to add weight especially when using a FEL. Being you are in a warm climate filling the tires with water shouldn't hurt. I don't know how it will hold up over the long term though regarding corrosion.

Hi,

The tires should ( better ) have tubes in them. So, maybe check with the dealer incase.................

Always fill tyres to 2/3 - This reduces the centre of gravity and will give the tractor a bit more weight or momentum. Add anti freeze if you are in a cold area. Be carefull removing wheels of loaded rear tyres as they are very heavy and the weight will shift- always use a chain block - people have been crushed by loaded rear tyres.

Hi,

In cold climates Calcium Chloride is commonly used. Thats what is in our rear tires.

Take care
