It's a trade off: spend $0.50 to $1 per pound now for 1500 or more pounds of cast iron weights; or spend $200 now for liquid ballast and plan to replace the rims twenty to fifty or more years in the future for $500 at that time. The odds are very high that someone else will own the tractor by the time the rims need to be replaced. Why not just discount any tractor with calcium ballast by $500 to cover the potential cost to replace the rims.
The newest 4020's (1972) are now 46 years old and the oldest ones (1964) are now 54 years old. Almost all have had an engine overhaul, several sets of tires, injection pump rebuilt, injectors replaced, new clutches, rebuilt starters, and other normal maintenance that each cost $500 or more. Why is replacing rusted rims a big deal or even a surprise?
