Ain't it grand! Ask some people what time it is and they tell you how to build a watch.
At any rate, it's all about how concentrated the mix is. Water is roughly 8-1/2lbs per gallon. Cal/Cl mix can be as much as 11 or 12 lbs per gallon without much trouble.
I've got a couple tractors here that I can account for every day of their working life. BOTH have cal/cl mix in the rears. NEITHER have rusted rims. One is 39 years old, the other is 51 years old. With the right equipment, it's MUCH easier for one man to swap fluid in/out than it is to wrestle iron weights. All the local tire services I'm familiar with are equipped to handle Cal/Cl fluid. They WILL NOT work with anything else, as they don't wish to have 2 or 3 sets of pumps, barrels, ect.
In a perfect world, I'd rather not need ANY ballast, liquid or otherwise. But we know the world isn't perfect. That said, I'll take Cal/Cl and go on with life.
