The old “water in tractor tires” debate

We’ve seen the threads on the OB.
This weather reminds me.
The pole barn ain’t gonna keep this cold away from the tires.
What happens if it dips in the single digits?

Reason why one should add antifreeze when filling tires with water

First off you're not going to give 2 shits about the tractor tires and second, you'll need to add some air.

You add water in your tires for extra weight. Depending on what one uses their tractor for the extra weight is needed.
I debated putting it in mine when I bought it (dealership asked) but decided not to. The dealer puts an antifreeze mix in them.

They will be fine as long as you don’t drive it.

If its just water in them they'll freeze, but it shouldn't hurt anything if it's just sitting.

Don’t some people fill theirs with some kind of juice, I feel like I’ve read that somewhere.

Don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I've got an alcohol mixture in mine...all 4 wheels.

30% calcium chloride and 70% water.

Beet juice. Its heavier than water, non corrosive, and low freeze point. Its pretty great stuff.

Usually done on tractors with a front end loader to keep the rear of tractor on the ground with good traction

Where does a person procure 340 gallons of beet juice, what does it cost, and how do you get it into the tire?
Posted on 12/25/22 at 11:53 am to deeprig9
I just know that's what they use

Rim Guard - beet juice

How much of the tire do you fill up? This is fascinating

They say that it adds more weight which increases traction
