I don"t think Slime would work at all in liquid filled rear tractor tires and it would be a waste of money to try. Unless you put a huge amount of Slime in there (many gallons), I think the liquid would dilute the Slime too much for it to work.
But Slime works very well for my tractor"s air filled, tube type front tires. I only have to add air about once or twice a year.
We have problems with Hawthorn thorns puncturing our tractor front tires and I actually had my previous set foamed, which brings on another set of problems. But I never had any problems with rear tires being punctured by Hawtorns. However our Hawthorn thorns are probably only about 1/4 as long as the ones pictured. Those are really spooky! I would work really hard to kill and remove all those Hawthorn bushes and hopefully totally burn the downed bushes to get rid of the threat of those awful thorns.
There are lots of Hawthorns on and around my place and I get rid of a few more every year. They are a pain to deal with, literally and figuratively. But I have to feel good about having the Hawthorns we do, rather than those awful ones in the photos--they are truly wicked looking!!!
Would Slime work in rear tires that were air filled? I think it might, at least for a while, but you might need to put several quarts in, to make sure that much inner surface keeps well coated all the time. The Slime is supposed to fill and seal holes as they develop. It works pretty good if you use the machine often to keep the Slime moving and coating the interior surface of the inner tube. If it sits in one position too long, it might start leaking again.
I think if I was dealing with thorns that bad very much, I would probably get a crawler with a dozer blade. I wonder if anything with conventional rubber tires could deal with those thorns very long...Good luck!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
