Filling tires

There are as many opinions as people offering them!
My opinion, for what it's worth, is Rim Guard, AKA beet juice!
I would suggest that you compare price per gallon installed, then there's the corrosion issue with Calcium Chloride, also the weight per gallon to consider, as both Rim Guard and Calcium Chloride are heavier than water, and about the same weight as each other.
Some do not like the mess of Rim Guard if there's a leak, but it is non-corrosive and biodegradable. It, also, will wash down with water!
I have 2 tractors with Rim Guard and one with Calcium Chloride, and all three work fine.
Just google Rim Guard for more info on the product!

There are many things that can be used and some will rust the rim badly if you do not take care of them. Me I use winter grade wiper fluid. Some use anti-freeze so it is up to you which you want to use just b sure what ever you use can not freeze or you may need new tires and tubes
 
I had mine filled with Johnnie Walker black label.
Adds significant weight,
Doesn't rust your rims and it gives you something to sip on if you break down and you're waiting for parts.
 
I use old antifreeze. There is a semi truck sales and service center near and I dropped off a 50 gallon drum for them to collect to in for me. It's a wim win. They don't pay for disposal and I don't pay for tire fluid.
 
I don't drink scotch or bourbon and methanol is cheaper.
Tires are used but the rims and tubes are brand new after the calcium rotted them out pretty bad. That's why they aren't loaded now.
I've never filled tires, anything special to getting the fluid into the tire?

This little qizmo from Tractor Supply will allow you to fill your tires. You'll also need a pump of some sort, or some folks will use a front end loader to lift the liquid and let gravity and head pressure fill the tire. It's quite an easy job.

i use water and eco safe antifreeze.

don't need to be strong af mix.. just enough to prevent solid freeze. also adds corrosion protection..

I replied to this post earlier, it must have gotten lost in cyberspace. LOL.

Anyway, Tractor supply has what you need. Here's a link. You'll need a pump of some kind, or you can do as others have done, if you have a front end loader you can lift the liquid using the loader and let gravity and head pressure fill the tire.
