I have a case diesel 430 triple range which I like because of its road speed. I have to drive it sometimes on public roads (rural hard surface)for about 7 miles.

I do not have wheel weights or fluid in the tires which I believe are oversize 15 or 18 by 26. More weight is needed in the wheels for pulling power.

Question: If I add fluid to the tires will it affect the handling and driveability at road speeds of 25 mph +?

Question: Would wheel weights be better than fluid in this case? pun unintended.

thanks in advance
Roger

After farming on hills where fluid was manditory I can tell you it won't affect the ride if the tires are full. I can also tell you as others have spoken of that fluid is hard on rims with the tubless tires. On our SC's, Dc's, C, CC, and 300 all had tubes in the tires and it never created a problem with any of the rims. If this is an occasional use tractor with tubeless tires I would go with weights if you can find them reasonable.

You will notice handling differences roading the tractor down the hwy. Fluid may give you more of a bouncing ride vs the wheel weights.

Roger, I have taken more fluid out of tires than I like to remember. I don't think it should effect the way the 430 drives, but I was never a fluid fan. I just purchased new rear rims for one of my 570's because of leaking fluid, and I have other case tractors that need it removed. I will spend the bucks for weights, but some guys love fluid,if your keeping the tractor for the long haul I would spend some the money and get wheel weights, if you want some fluid come on up to northern Indiana and I will give you all you want. Maybe we can just swap some 430 rims and tires...just my thoughts.. Steve

thanks for the info and the offer of fluid.

Indiana might be a bit too far.
