</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I work as an engineer for a large construction equipment manufacturer. We do not tube our tires in which we load ballast. You can refer to the Goodyear and Firestone sites. As long as the tire is properly ballasted, rust will not be a problem. Prior to moving to this construction equipment mfgr 15 years ago, I worked for an ag tractor manufacturer. We had stopped using tubes for tires getting ballast several years before I left. The main reason for the change was cost.

When if's and buts become wishes and nuts, what a merry Christmas it shall be....
IF.... If the fluid level remains constant, and slightly above the rim..... IF....If there are no flat tires.... IF.... The list goes on and on....
In reality, MOST tractors (and ALL FARM tractors) don't live in a perfect environment. Most see a few flats in their lifetime. CaCl gets on unprotected steel, and the steady decline begins....at a blistering pace.
Far too many tractor rims are ruined with CaCl for my benifit.
GIVE ME WINDSHIELD WASHER SOLUTION......
JMHO, and worth every penny you paid for it....
