Cast iron weights cost about $1 per pound. If you have a fluid leak and don't clean and repaint the rim, the rim will likely rust out about 20 to 30 years after you had the leak. Worst case, two new rims twenty plus years in the future would still cost much less than cast iron weights will cost you now.
If you put in calcium chloride (CaCL2) fluid you might as well go full strength: 5 pounds of CaCl2 per gallon. The labor to install fluid is more than the cost of CaCl2 at either part strength or full strength. Who knows who will own that tractor after you or what the climate it will be move to. Check the weight per gallon of alternative fluids, some with alcohol weight less than plain water. Double check with your supplier or a tire store if a gallon of water expands a bit when a lot of CaCl2 is dissolved in it. You may need less water to fill your tires to the top of the rim (75 % full).
