Diana: You have an unsual situation, usually it is only husbands that get in the dog house over the mess their tractor make. I rather doubt if the tractor had been parked with the valve stems up, you would have avoided this mess. One of the other guys gave you just about all the possibilities of leakage.

I agree whole heartedly hose that concrete floor down well, get that chloride off the concrete. I wouldn't worry to much about most vegitation. I have over the years completely lost the chloride in the field several times and on tires much larger than yours. In corn, alfalfa, grass or grain I never really noticed the spot in the field come harvest time.

You do however need the weight for doing loader work with that 350. I will agree with others though that say get rid of the chloride. You have fast hitch on the 350, so make up a counter weight that fits your hitch. The best counter weights I have found are concrete blocks cast with hitch forks for fast hitch or mounting for 3 point cast right into concrete. The one I always liked was a 55 gal. barrel, filled with concrete, designed with 3 point in mind. There are numerous ways to do this. E mail me if you want some suggestions.

That counter weight for loader work is far more effective than wheel weights or chloride, as they just put weight on rear wheels. The counter weight actually transfers weight from front wheels to rear wheels. This not only helps with traction but makes loader work a bit easier on tractors front end.
