A few thoughts come to mind...
Calcium chloride is used in tires where it gets cold. This salt water solution shouldn't freeze (I don't know what the freeze point is, but I have never seen one freeze)
Cranking the tractor over without letting it run will only drain the battery. This will DEFINATELY not help the battery. If you started it and let it run for 45-60 min it will charge up the battery. I am positive that letting it run less than a half hour will not recharge what you took out in cranking. Most of the guys I tractor pull with experience this need to charge their batteries about once a year.
They make float chargers/battery tenders that are designed to keep the battery fully charged all winter long. These work great if you have electrical access in your shed. I do not... In the boat I charge the batteries and then bring them inside and set them on a block of wood. You shouldn't need the wood anymore, but I do it anyhow. Old habits die hard :)
He is dead on that pulling it into the sun will melt the water. Even if it is zero you will see steam coming off the tires.
