Find yourself a couple of plastic barrels, save it to put on driveway for dust as needed.

I"m not quite sure it will kill grass unless you have an area where it puddles. I lost all the fluid from a 20.8x38 one spring doing tillage, it all went out in one spot. The field was planted to corn and by mid summer I couldn"t even find the spot. Yes, salt will kill plants, but it takes a lot of volume and heavy consentration.

Are you sure you want to take the fluid out? The fluid is in there for weight to give you traction for pulling.

Also, it might be Calcuim Chloride (a salt, like other folks have said). Or, it could be antifreeze, or windshield washer fluid, or even beet juice, depending on what was put in there.

Call your local tire guy and he will come and get it. I have one here that comes after all my fluid, then he chargers his other customers for it. I am shed of it so I don't care. One might even get a little money or a free tire fix out of the deal.

Yes no and sort of. As the other guy says if you do it that way it will kill all grass etc for years. Think of it this way its salt and slat kills and causes rust so if you want something dead and also want to make it rust drain it where ever but if you want things to grow and not cause rust pump it out. As in say you drain it in your drive way, then it rains well then you drive over that area you then pick up that salt and put it on your car then your car rusts etc etc etc

If you do it that way make sure you do it where you dont wan the grass to grow cuz it will kill everything for years. Do it on a gravel area and it will keep the weeds down. It is best to pump it out and you will get more out. good luck

I have an M and a smaller 300. The 300 has fluid the M doesn't. The 300 gets much better traction and can pull more.Someone told me in an earlier post that the fluid alone can add up to 600lbs per tire That adds alot of xtra traction. But if you don't need it like someone else stated your local tractor tire dealer may come out and take it off your hands for nothing and recycle it.
