Well if it has a tube in it then stop leak will not work anyway. If it does not have a tube in it then the stop leak will ruin the rim. Stop leak is made for radial car tires and even then it is supposed to be a sort term thing to get you off the road than have it fixed correctly. Most tire shops will not remount a car tire that has stop leak put in it.
Now they do make thing for long term leak protection IF IT IS TUBE LESS. Slime is a common brand name. Many of the four wheeler guys use it.
I would use neither one. I would just take the tire off and fix the leak. I would bet that it has a tube in it so make where the valve is on the tire. break it down and remove the tube. Pump the tub up and look for the leak. You may have to slowly run water over it to find the leak. When you find the leak hold the tube up against the tire. Line the valve up to your earlier mark. Look in the tire for what caused the leak; like a nail or piece of metal, maybe a thorn. Remove whatever caused the leak and patch the tire. Then just put the tube back in the tire and remount it.
Maybe the easiest thing is just take it to a tire shop and have them fix it. Should cost in the $75-100 range. IF it is loaded then you more than likely don't have anyway to pump the fluid out anyway. So just bite the bullet and have it fixed.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
