I have approximately 28 gallons in each rear tire of New Holland 1520 (11.4 x 24) at 75% full. I figure close to 200 pounds in each tire. It really made a difference. Plus I have a Farmall Cub wheel weight on each too. Wally World was running a special early last fall and I got -20 for $.50 per gallon. My wife almost died of embarassment after I made her help me haul it all out in two shopping carts. I made a funnel set up and poured it all in using a water/air release valve. Took some time - but worth the wait. I have since bought a drill operated pump for the "next" time. We've had some nights more than -10F degree below zero and so far - no problems. I've also had windshield washer fluid in my garden tractor (JD 140's with ags) tires for years with no problems.
