Price Check Price for loading tires

[tomd999]

Hiya,

My local dealer just quoted me $400 to $500 for loading the rears on my 2520.

Seems a bit high for 44 gallons of juice. (rim guard and ballast star both say 22 gal. per tire)

What is the current rate per gallon, installed?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Search the web on how to do it your self using Windshield Washer Fluid, the blue stuff. Its cheap, wont freeze, will not rot your rims, and will not kill your lawn if you have a leak.

I have been working with Les Schwab on getting my tires replaced or re-capped. They quoted $1 a pound for foam. Which means you won't get a flat. That is a little over $100 each for 9.50x16 tires. Calcium chloride was quoted at $2.75 a gallon. That might give you an idea of cost. At least here in the Seattle area.

Around here (NH) dealers are getting $250-$300 for filling the tires on tractors the size of yours. Your prices seem high. ( Using Rimguard)

I had pretty high quotes from dealers as well - that was for CaCl2 - about $500. I called around and found a farm tire guy who did it at my place for $250 including tubes.

Call a couple of used tractors places to find out who does the tires for them and then call him. Most places don't seem to do it themselves and contract out to a tire guy. Might as well not have to pay the middle man (dealer).

My local dealer charged $350 for my 2320 a couple of weeks ago. It added about 400 lbs I'm told (200 per wheel). They used a non-calcium product - RimGuard or Citrastar I think - they were just switching betwen the two.

I bought my tc21d in December, my local shop charged $125 for both rears filled with washer fluid.
