[quote="Billy NY"](quoted from post at 20:15:35 09/30/09) I've got a 13.6 x 28 that needs to be loaded with CACL, according to the chart, 78lbs of 77% CACL ought to do it, as it will take -23F to freeze it solid, local supplier has 50lb bags of flakes, so 100 lbs ought to be fine, we don't really seem to get down that cold, -10F maybe -15, not lately though, and she'll go in the heated garage if that cold as I need it to start for snow removal, 100 lbs ok you think?
CaCl is old school junk from back in the bad old days when there was nothing else better and dirt cheap. When too small a tractor was geared down and haul a too heavy load in low gear at 2mph while on bias tires.
I never heard tell of pouring a corrosive solution of salt into any machine being a good thing except maybe for hockey arena ice. Or to make homemade icecream.
If you have a rear snowblower the tractor won't need extra ballast. If fooling around pushing snow then chains and ballast is required.
Either "rim guard" or windshield washer fluid diluted so it becomes slushy at 0F.
I've tried pushing snow with the loader which makes drifting worse. Compared the results with blowing the snow away from the area and not making snowbanks which cause more drifting.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm.
