Someone in one of the cold states can comment, but AFIK 1 gallon of antifreeze per tire should be enough. Fill the rest of the way with water. Ask at tire store or maybe TSC about getting a device to help fill the tire. It is screwed on to the end of a garden hose and then screwed on to the valve stem which has had the valve stem core removed. The water pressure will quickly inflate the tire, but you need to remove enough air to make room for the water. The device has a button on the side which you depress to let air out. The tire should be jacked up so that the valve stem is at the top pf the tire. When all the air space in the tire is filled with water when you press the button water will come out. The tire is now filled.
First, however you must get the antifreeze in the tire. To do this, turn the tire so that the valve stem is closest to the ground. Let all the air out. The tire will flatten. You need a bit of rubber tubing that will fit closely over the open valve stem. Attach a small funnel to the other end. Have a helper hold the funnel and hose assembly vertical. Pour some antifreeze in. Quickly the antifreeze will fill available space. Have a jack under the axle and jack up the tractor enough so that the tire as it straightens out from being flat, creating a vacuum in the tire which will suck the antifreeze into the tire. Alternate jacking the tire and filling the funnel with antifreeze until all the antifreeze is in the tire, then go to the water filling step described above. When the tire is full of water, remove hose and quickly put the valve core back in.
If I have confused anyone post back and I will try to clarify.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. 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
