Would anybody know a easy way a guy could load his own tires to save a few bucks. Or would i be better off to hire it done i think i can get the calcium for free.

Jim in the long run it will be cheaper to just drive to nearest tire shop. After you buy all the dodads and calicem to put in them, them drive to nearest car wash and blast rims good to get that metal eating stuff off.Also how old are your tubes you may be money ahead to replace them also to prevent leaks and rim damage. I"ve been on a few service calls to fix someelses mess and the boss charged them dear!

It's a john deere 420W with 13/6 28 rubber with back blade going to use it this winter to plow snow. We live on a hillside.

It's not a real beefy rear end in there. Almost all rubber tractor tires slip on ice/snow no matter the weight. Chains dig in and grip. How about a very narrow snow blower and no chains. If the blower auger is full the tractor tires will spin .This reduces auger bearing, pto and tractor stress.

A 5 gal bucket with a hose attached to the valve stem sitting higher than the tire and you can put what ever you want in the tire.

The raidator shops will give you all the used antifreeze you want if you bring your own barrels.

www.gemplers.com sells the tools you need and has instructions on their site on exactly how to fill the tires.

Do not know about calcium because we use only water in our area but if you could get it into a piece of garden hose by say a funnel you could use this.
It is a water/air adapter model 221 made by Rema that I bought at our local tractor dealer. It has 2 adapters to fit both regular and large valve stems.
Hope this helps
John

Many auto parts, farm supply, adn tire stores sell the adapters for filling your own tires. I've never used one, so I don't know how well htey work, but you will need tubes with valve stems designed for fluid. They have a bigger stem that a second smaller valve stem assembly goes on with a nut.
