Tire sealant

25 years ago when I bought this place, it was loaded with multiflora roses and thorny locust. Had my Ford 5000 and a 6ft pull type Bush Hog, if I could get over top of them I mowed them down.

Had a bunch of flats, wound up putting a gallon of tire sealant in each back tire. Think it was some brand Tractor Supply carried at the time.

So 25 years later, need to replace a rear tube on said 5000. Got to say it's held air just fine until this year. Rim is rusty, has to be from the sealant. Still need a sealant, I'm sure there's still 25 year old thorns in the tire just waiting to poke a hole in my new tube.

Looking at Berryman's tire sealant. Claims it won't rust out rims.

Anybody used it? Other thoughts?

Thanks

BERRYMAN SEAL R TIRE SEALING COMPOUND
 
I bought some when Tractor Supply had it on clearance. Put it in some tires that were going flat with slow leaks. They stopped going flat. Went back and bought all the rest they had on the shelf.

It's definitely better than the green slime.
 
The Sullivan tire store is my Go to Tractor tire place.
They put sealant in tires, no problem. It is water base.
I put some in a tubeless tire and later I had rust holes in rim.
Not sure if the rim wasn't rusty to begin with. Air had water in it. Some rims get rusty without tire sealant. I'm guessing that's why some tire stores use Nitrogen instead of wet air.

I think I saw bicycle tubes with built in sealant. I need self sealing tube for lawn mower. Just patched a tube. It now has two patches.

Been looking for solid rubber tires for lawn mower.
 
I have had great results with Berrymans. I found it to be much better than green slime. I used it in tubeless rear tractor tire, side walls leaking, been over a year tire is still up
 
I did the same thing but when I went back someone else had got all the half price Berrymans. (maybe you ? )Just kidding. Ive had
good luck with the Berrymans , never have tried the green stuff.

ot sure of your location but here in southern NH.... I hate that stuff. Damn stuff even tries to creep in from the edgesf field between mowings. It's about the only thing here worse than bittersweet.
 
SW Ohio

Done pretty well over the last 20 years riding around in the spring spot spraying roses with 2-4,d. But birds dropping seeds, they keep showing up. And you can sure
tell if I miss a year.

What's been coming on lately is some kind of Russian olive showing up in the fence rows. If I miss one in the spring, it's pretty large by the end of the summer.

And then add in the red cedar.....

It never ends

i do believe the nitrogen is a sales gimmick first and fore most, since a tire filled with nitrogen has less temperaturre fluctuation psi wise and they can say they fill your tire with a cutting edge inert gas and charge you money for it.

Im sure it does have the advantage of being dry but i feel you can dry compressed air too lol
 
here in northern wisconsin. where we live, berry bushes are the primary annoyance that pops up like wild fire. Been doing spraying(learning how to do that, got a 25 gal sprayer, kicks butt) and trying to mow, cut, and keep anything from establishing.

WHen I moved in here with my grandmother, we had big patches out in our field all random like, probably 15foot diameter patches. I put the plow on the truck and I had the fun idea to see who wins, 10ft plow or Bushes. tires were 10ply KO2s and never were damaged and the plow won, I found. But I just recently used some tire slime to keep some old tires inflated, and thought to myself "hope these dont rust out quick" and hoping they dont.

Also, gentlemen, we have a tractor with a tire filled with salt water, I was wondering if that is a normal or common practice, because to me that seems like a really dumb idea, as its clearly rusting badly from the salt water but my grandfather had it done.
 
As you change tires go to those airless models. No Air or tubes to leak. They have holes in the sides to make them ride like pneumatic tires do. Can't say since I have not ridden on anything with them. They have them for equipment up to big front end loaders like in landfills and such.
