How much "fluid" will a 13.6-38 tire hold. And how much is recommended. Thanks Chris.

A 13.6 X 38 will hold 57 gals of water and add 477# per tire If mixed 2lbs 77%CaCl 2 per gal of water, mix will weigth 538# per tire If mixed 3 1/2lbs of 77%CaCl 2 per gal of water, mix will weigth 581# per tire.

Best to ask your tire man on how he mixes for your area.

The correct amount of calcium chloride mix to add is none. Just plain nasty stuff. Some people claim to have had it in tires for 40 years without leaks ,dribbles and rusted rims but they are a small minority. If it's a two cylinder it already weighs between 115 to 145 lbs per pto hp as recommended for bias ply tires by Firestone engineers. Connect a lighter load and travel at 3 to 5 mph. Over ballasting and gearing down to pull an oversize load is counter productive. If heavy front mounted equipment is used such as a loader than dry external weights or fluid such as windshield washer fluid or beat pulp are superior.

I have been following Chris' s past posts and I think he is thinking about a loader on his 60. He is looking for a 45 loader. Past posts covered after market wide fronts and in those answers others recomended he weigth the rear end to balance the loader. I am one of those that have never had any touble with fluid. How do you get beet plup into a tire and keep it from freezing?

The high sugar conrent in the beet pulp prevents freezing and it's specific gravity is similar to a calcium chloride solution. The amount of rusted out rims across the country shows that many owner/operators have come to grief using salt solutions. I would rather handle a problem by eliminating it rather than trying to control it. The weights you listed for the 13.9x38 tires are correct. I hope the HD square front and some beefy tires are going under the front. The wide round front used under row crops looks like the Oliver front end. Kind of looks like one good bump would snap it off compaired to a robust standard front axle.

I'm another one to NOT have problems with cal. in my tires, and i have several tractors with cal. loaded tires, that has been in there many many years. I am thinking of takeing it out of my tractor with radials though, it has 750 pounds per side, and has a loader so i need to put weight back on. I'd like to get those radials working for me, instead of staying stiff with the fluid in them. At the moment i'm thinking of makeing a weight box for the 3 point, and putting 6"x6" lead squares in it. I have the lead, and now just need to pour it into squares. It will be easy to ajust the amounts that way, and take the weight off when i want to. Robert
