I'm trying to add more weight to my JD G in the tires. She weighs around 6230 with me on it but wanted to be more competitive in the 6500 farm stock class. I've also got 1 set of the round wheel weights on back. Someone told me about using RV type antifreeze as the fluid, but what do I use to add this to tires? Also, thinking about adding some to front tires. Would I be able to get enough in front to keep nose down some for pulling? I've never done this before so I'd appreciate any help.

Around here they use calcium cloride. A Goodyear dealer or a tire shop that does tractor tires should be able to help you out with filling them. But I wouldn't suggest it. I'd go with suitcase weights and wheel weights. You can experiment and move them around plus they won't rust out your rims. Once you get the balance set, then maybe put in some fluid weight. But I'd stick with hanging weights.
