Dave i have had a lot of tractors over the years some good ones and some so bad that i had to farm with them because nobody wanted them . some with cal. in the tires and some with out . None of them even close to being new , and some of them with cal in the ires that were leaking till i fixed them and cal will not eat the rims out over night or even in a year of leaking. Yes i have seen some plum ate thru and most of them were in manure all there lifes. You can not add enough iron t a wheel that will not become a post removal tool to equal the weight of cal. in one tire. Your car- truck will eat out faster then the rim from the salt . If the tire gets a hole in it ya fix it and wash the rim down and go again.If ya have to ya sand blast prime and paint. Case and point here , the one neighbor just got a 1066 that is not loaded and has added five 150 donuts to each side that approx. 750 lbs each side they stick out past the tires. our 1066 has 18.4x38 radials and are loaded with a 11# per gallon mix x110 gallon per tire approx 1210 # pounds per tire then we have and extra 300# in iron added . He has to remove the iron to get his tractor into his shed to fit thru the door , his dad is anti cal so the boys have to load and unload the tractor . Plus they still do not have enough weight on it for the hills . Oh and this is on a farm that is just starting to come out of the dark ages as up till 2 years ago they were still farming with two Farmall Super MTA's a WD 45 Allis and a 8 N Ford . They Still milk cows with the old pale milkers and hand carry each pale from the barn to the milk house . Eugene and i have one tractor that is not loaded and that is the 706 it weighs in at around 92-9300 # and i am here to tell ya that at the one farm where we make hay at it is a little on the steep side you have to be extremely careful while mowing or raking with out the extra weight on the back . So my take on the cal verses no cal is this if you are working a tractor you need the weight if it is just a toy and a trailer queen then ya don't need the weight , if your rims rust out because of cal then that is your fault because it it is in a rubber inner tube and stays in there like it is suppose to it is not going to eat a rim out and it will not do it over night or even in a year or two or three .
