I like to remove the fluid from my tires and put it on my gravel drives. It will keep down the dust and kill the weeds. I usually position the valve stem at the bottom and remove the valve stem, not just the valve core. The fluid will shoot about 20' out from the tractor. If I don't want it to go that far then I rig some type of a deflector. Be sure not to get any of the fluid in your eyes, wear eye protection.

You will need to be located somewhere where you can refill the air in the tire. (Remember you won't be able to move the tractor because the tire will be flat.) Replace the valve stem and repeat the process again until no more fluid comes out.

There will still be some fluid in the tire. Take a valve stem with you to the hardware store and buy about 3 feet of plastic flexable tubing that will go into the tire thru the valve stem base.

Now air the tire back up and then remove the valve stem again and put the plastic tube into the tire just far enough that the end will be at the bottom of the tire. You will need something to use around the plastic tube at the valve stem base so as not to let the air out around the outside of the plastic tube. This will force the remaining fluid out thru the plastic tube. You will probably have to repeat this several times to get all of the fluid out. Be sure to secure the outer end of the plastic tub because it will whip around and probably get you soaked. I usually use a pair of vice grips with just enough pressure to hold the tube but not squeze it closed.

HAVE FUN
