Modern Tractor Discussion Board Topic: Re: Fluid filled tires, good or bad? [Show Entire Topic] [Return to Forum] Author [expand] [Modern View] Pete76NY 07-08-2009 00:52:34 66.194.51.226 20670 Report to Moderator Even if you run tubes, eventually you will have some corrosion fron Calcium...the fluid condenses and transfers thru the tube...not much, but enough, it"s when it mixes with air that you get the corrosion, so a little fluid and alot of ir is worse than the opposite. We fill ours with windshield washer fluid (we"re) in the NE so we use winter formula, add an 8oz bottle of waterbed conditioner to control any algea. The least expensive way we have found is actually by the gallon from Wally World (if you don"t mind dealing with all those plastic jugs, we use a 55 gal. drum, a sump pump, and a filler fitting you can get at NAPA. We have had it in one of our tractors for almost 10 years, last summer we had to change one due to a bad sidewall, rim looked like it did the day I finished it. We run it in any of the tractors that we don"t use regularly for pulling...kinda limits ya to one weight class...and I would reccomend it for any working tractor. Weighs abot 8# per gallon.
