Mixing tire sealant and water?

2810 - gear.

We have a ton of cactus on our property that we are clearing and like not having any flats because of the sealant that is currently in them... But the rear end of the tractor is a little light even with a box blade on the back.

With many difference operators, it has had several near mises of hitting trees. Along with one direct hit which broke a 3pt hitch arm that I welded on once before. I added some angle iron and a piece of rebar and welded the **** out of it. It is ugly as a mud fence, but is doing good so far.

So I'm thinking that adding water to the rear tires would add more weight than the box blade and also get rid of the tail.

I'm afraid though if we don't use a sealant we would have flats on almost a daily basis. Most of the sealants I have seen say if you need to add liquid ballast just use the sealant. Which would be what, like 50+ gallons a tire?? Sorry no thanks.

Is there any sealant out there that can be mixed with water??

Thanks

Texan,
I recently had the rears of my Kubota BX filled at the local John Deere dealer. He used rimguard mixed with one gallon of a foam sealant. I asked what that was about and he said that they use a mixture on every filled tire unless the customer requests not to. He also said that he has never had one come back to the shop and that if it punctures, the sealant takes care of it. I'm not sure of the brand or the claim, but decided to give it a try.

Hi Texan,

This is what you are looking for:

MULTI-SEAL CORPORATION Hydro Seal Tire Sealant

Expensive but seems like a nice product.

looks good... buy where do I buy it from? I can't seem to find any retailers. I found one other web site that looked pretty old and out dated. It didn't list any prices other than "Its so good your not gonna care how much it costs."

Anyone have a ball park price on this stuff and where to get it?
