The beet juice is in fact called Rim Guard. Do a search here on TBN for Rim Guard and you will get plenty of hits. It has been discussed thoroughly many, many times. In my opinion it is the best stuff to load your tires with.
I did fill my tires with RimGuard and am happy with the results; if it leaks out it won't kill the grass or our animals, it has more density than water/anti-freeze/washer-fluid (though less than calcium chloride), it won't corrode my rims, and it won't freeze. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Call around to your local tire dealers. They should be able to direct you to someone in the area that does ag and industrial tire work. They will be the ones that will be able to fill your tires. They will come to where your tractor is and do it on site. Unless you have tubes in your tires, I would go with Rim Guard. That is what I have in mine. I used to work in a tire shop and did many ag tires with Calcium Chloride. If handled properly it is not a problem. It is cheap and effective and has been around for years and years. Nowadays, with the enviromental concerns of Calcium Chloride spills, I believe that Rim Guard makes more sense and it won't rust out your rims, either.

I know for a fact that Chappell in Milford and Brentwood and at least one place over in Keene that uses Rim Guard to fill tires. I am sure there are others.
