Here's my post from 10/1/15:
February of 2015 I had 140 gallons of Rim Guard, Michigan made beet juice, added to the rear tires of my JD 5400 loader tractor. Rim Guard weighs eleven (11) pounds per gallon, so the added ballast weighs approximately 1500 pounds. I paid $280.00 dollars total for this product, installed.
Tire ballast does not reduce the loading of the front axle of a loader tractor due to the physics of the weight placement, but then neither do iron wheel weights. I have a drum of concrete that can be attached to the three point- that will offset a front axle load.
I was unable to find any used cast iron wheel weights designed for my tractor, and the weights I did find were about $1.00 per pound. Deere will sell the new weight kit (T19293) at $171.60 each for 110 pound weights. I would need fourteen of those to equal the liquid ballast mass, which would cost in excess of $2400. Even the "normal" set of eight weights would be $1376 plus hardware. I am confident in the common sense of my purchase of Rim Guard for my application.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
