So, my tractor tire developed a leak at the valve stem today. I didn't hit anything, in fact I was operating in a area with zero obstructions. Guess it was it's time to die. So anyhow, it was peeing out ballast and air and I tried to tighten the nut on the valve stem but it was at the end of the treads. So now I'm looking at getting the valve stem replaced by the tire store and I suppose it's safe to assume that I'm going to lose all of my ballast. Whatever they used as ballast was water-looking, probably glycol or washer fluid since the leaking water isn't rusty at all. I assume the tire shop will charge a zillion dollars to fill em with ballast, so I'm looking at doing it myself. I looked at a tire chart and my 13.6x28 tire needs around 43 gallons of ballast, since that's ALOT, I'm looking at the washer fluid. Any drawbacks from washer fluid or advice on this topic?
