Fluid capacity for rear tire ballast

[budepps3760]

After setting rear tires for maximum width I want to add liquid ballast since I need more stability on tractor. Rolled my previous tractor on slopes and don't want to repeat the same mistake. In order to determine how much fluid to buy is anyone aware of how to calculate the fluid capacity needed for each tire? I want to only make trip when I order the fluid (usually DIY jobs take multiple trips to HD). Tire size is 14.9x26.

This is the same chart I use. Realize this is the weight for water. Probably spot on for windshield washer fluid or recreational vehicle anti-freeze. If you are going with RimGuard - figure 11# per gallon.

Rim Guard advertises 10.7, but I just weighed 128 fl ounces at 60 degrees F and it's 10.62#.

Seems pretty accurate advertising.

Yes, pretty accurate now, but you still come across a lot of sources that claim 11#/gallon.

As if that really matters. The product isn’t likely to be that consistent to begin with and the +/- on the fill quantities will certainly vary.

How accurate is your scale (is it certified?l and what is the margin of error?

Just finished filling my tires this afternoon using the same chart. As we like to say here in the great socialist democratic country of Canada; "Good enough for government work".
