The non-corrosive stuff that was talked about is methanol antifreeze mixed with water. It is not very expensive, it's about $4 a gallon of the methanol, but you only need a couple gallons to mix w/all the water. It's not corrosive. I would reccommend this over wheel weights because it is much cheaper, and puts the weight directly on the tread. There was a discussion on one of these boards not too long ago about the advangtages of loaded tires over just using wheel weights. Any tractor dealer should be able to fix you right up. I think you can use regular antifreeze too I guess, but the dealer I work at uses that Methanol that they buy in 55 gallon drums. Hope this helps.
