I would think that both water and CaCl will cause rust. I'm not sure if RV and antifreeze will cause rust. I know you can put stuff in radiator to prevent coolant from causing oxidation.
I've seen too many rims damaged by ballast, CaCl. Isn't pickle juice and others just another salt?
So, my question is why ballast? I have a backhoe and will never have rear tires ballasted. Instead I use weight distribution. Putting a heavy weight in front loader only transfers weight from rear wheels to front wheels. Ballast in tires does nothing to counter balance the loader weight. It takes an equal amount of weight an equal distance behind the rear wheels to transfer weight back to the rear wheels. Simple physics, lever problems, torque.
I made a 3 pt 1100# ballast weight for neighbor, so his massey can lift 1100# bales of hay. It transfers weight from front to rear wheels.
Before I would use any liquid in my tires, I would invest in wheel weights or make a rear ballast.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
