In Reply to: use ballast in rear tires? posted by gotmyfarm! on February 03, 2019 at 06:57:00:

gotmyfarm! Your looking the recommendations for MODERN high horse power tractors. They are usually MFWD and or full 4wd. These are where you get power hop. Power hop is the tire side wall deflecting under torque load. The front and back get to slipping/flexing/hopping at different frequencies. The tractor then can "hop" up and down rather violently. I have never seen this happen in any tractor under 100 HP(usually 200 HP plus) and never on a two wheel drive tractor. So that excludes 95% of the tractors that the average Yter would use/own.

As for the road speed warning that would be for tractors that can travel fast enough that that centrifugal force can cause troubles. Once again this is on tractors that can travel 25MPH or faster. This is why you rarely see fluid ballast used in European tractors and the majority of the modern tractors over there have high transport speeds.

The calcium chloride in your tires did not freeze but is just still cold and the moisture in the air is condensing on the outside just like a cold beverage does in humid conditions.

On the average older tractors, like most Yters own, I would still recommend filling to cover the rim. This would be 75% or so. On Tubeless tires you have to cover the rim to prevent the rim from rusting when exposed to air.

So your looking at information that is targeted to a totally different machine that you own.
