Well, you got a pretty good responce.

CC is not toxic - it's just salt. While it's hard on
metal if you neglect it, the EPA doesn't come
after you when it laks out....

Antifreeze concoctions are toxic, and any spill
over a couple gallons is _supposed_ to be
reported to the athourities - bad for the
enviornment. Also it is lighter than water, while
the CC is good weight at being heavier than
water.

My coop would read me the riot act if I called
them out for a repair & they pumped antifreeze
out of my tires and contaminating their CC
reserves.

For me from my tire coop, CC is far cheaper
than antifreeze. Man,150 gallons of antifreeze
per tractor? Yikes!

Rim guard seems like a good alternative if you
don't like CC.

This is just my opinion on it, what ever works
for others. CC is far & away the best choice -
in my area.

A loader tractor needs weight on the back, and
tires 3/4 fll of fluid (it needs an air pocket yet,
should never be plumb full) is a real good
start. For heavy use, you'll need a bit more,
wheel weights maybe. Something hanging off
the rear is very good, that acts like a teeter
totter & picks a tiny bit of weight off the front
end axle, which gets overloaded with a loader.

You just don't wantto run aloader without any
weight on the rear of a tractor, it is very
dangerous when you have a full bucket lifted
up high.

For some tillage operations, you want the
added traction as well. For others, it would be
a waste tho...
