This spring I did something I had never done and will probably never do again. I bought a 544 row-crop, gear drive with the diesel engine, sight unseen, had it hauled from Arizona to our farm in Minnesota. Never would have done it if that wasn't such an unusual model. This weekend, out of the clear blue sky, I remembered hearing of a guy around here that hauled a Case 4x4 up from the southeast part of the country, only to have the tires freeze solid because down south they run straight water as rear tire ballast. I quickly collected a sample from each 544 tire and stuck it in the freezer, half hour later, it was froze solid. I was able to drain about 90% of the water from my tires, so I think it'll be OK, right? Glad I got that done, was in the 50's yesterday but will get well below freezing tonight. I've never actually seen a tire full of water freeze, anyone know what actually happens? Does the tire get pushed right off the bead?
