Estimated weight of liquid-ballasted tires...

truckfarmer49 · Jul 1, 2020

Planning to pick up an AC D19, but concerned that if the tires are filled it might put me over the weight limit for my transport trailer. Any estimates on how much weight ballasted tires might add?

A 18.4x34, and if it's solution B, it will add 1381 lb's !

Wow, that's a great chart to have, thank you so much Mr. svcummins, really appreciate it.

The water alone is 127.0 gallons, which is 1059 lbs, plus any calcium chloride in there.

Most CaCL ballast in my area use the -60 deg F freeze point, which will up the weight some. My 13.6x38 held 58 gal ea of a 7 lb mix. Tractordata.com gives the weight of tractors with non ballasted tires and 75% ballasted tires in the spec section.

Years ago I got a data book at my Firestone dealer that has this and a whole lot of other information.

Lots of ballast charts online too, in a google search.

Bookmark this one and you won't have to wait for someone to find an old scrap of paper in their wallet for you:
