He was my solution to the hight cost of factory wheel weights. Home made wheel weights
They use bar bell weights. I have 200 lbs on each side.

There's another reason for filling the tires. It also lowers your center of gravity quite a bit, the tractor will feel alot more stable on slopes and rough ground not to mention the traction increase. Talk to a couple tire shops in your area to see what they charge to fill them and what they use most. I used AF, this also helps on the corrosion side but I don't know if WWF helps any with that.

Larstan, I will talk to my local tire shop. What is (AF)? I had not thought of the corrosian aspesct of wwf. Water, even with soap will corrode.

My dealer uses methanol, no corrosion at all and no freezing.

gregp,

( What is (AF)? )

AntiFreeze, I have been told that calcium causes problems down the road. I have no clue as to the wwf's long term issues so AF seemed like the logical choice.

( I had not thought of the corrosian aspesct of wwf. )

If there are any chips or nicks on your rims then you will have a corrosion problem with adding water, I don't know if wwf has any anti corrosive properties, but I do know that AntiFreeze does. It's just like a compressor, it will rot from the inside out and you won't know till you go to change a tire or it fails......
I am sure one of your local tire shops fills tractor tires, I think the going rate up here was about a buck a gallon. I got them to do it for .60 a gallon and I thought that was still high plus the cost of the AF. Took 44 gallons each in the rear and 4 each up front, cost me 60 bucks for the fill plus 2 cases of AF. But the handling was night and day, it might be a little nimbler without but I have alot of rolling pasture with gully's and some steep slopes. Keep the seat side up /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
