My 454 rear tires have water in them, all I pull is a mower I'm thinking about removing the water, thought it would be better to ask about removing it before I did it and to ask how to get it out.

The best way is to take it to a farm tire store and pay the 10 or 20 dollars per tire to pump it. They can 'dispose' the calcium,to
r you could hook up a drill operated pump and pump it into a barrel. Then you need to find a way to dispose of it.Or you can simply remove the core and let it run out all over the ground. But that practice is highly not recommended.Possibily illegal in some areas,too.

If it is truly water just drain it out. No issue, it is probably not toxic. If it is Calcium Chloride mixed with water, then you need to find a local waste station that will take it., or a tire store that could re use it. If it id beet juice (Rim Guard) it is non toxic, but might stain whatever it touches when drained.
It could also contain windshield washer fluid, or ethyleneglycol (a toxic mix that is usually used automotive antifreeze) it must also be looked at similar to sodium chloride.
If it is causing the tires to damage the lawn, you might try changing the pattern of driving to limit sharp turns. If it is rusting the rims and leaking, it is likely Calcium chloride. Jim

I live in Texas that's why I'm thinking it's water plus it has no smell to it.

Put a tablespoon of it in a tin can on a brick, heat it with a torch and let it boil away. (do not breath the vapors) Calcium Chloride has little small, but lots of residue. Jim

Where might I be able to buy one of these drill operated pumps?

All I do is mow with it and don't see any reason for the added weight.
Don't know what part of the state you are in, but here in the hill country, I wouldn't have a tractor w/o water or wts. You won't believe how much better the ride is over a air only tire. I've heard this discussion before, and someone else will think different.....just my opinion and experience.

I've been told about the same thing but my pastures are pretty smooth but I look at it like this if I don't like it I can always put water back in them. What I don't understand is how these guys run 5 gallon of slime in them and mow a lot more than me and rougher ground.
