Several factors come into play. Do you need the wieght year round? If not, the cast weights are easier (quicker) to remove. In the past, the only accepted way to put fluid in tractor tires was to use calcium chloride/water mix. It's very destructive as far as rusting rims. I put fluid in a couple tractor tires last week. I used windshield washer solution. I got a "deal" on 160 gallons. It cost a bit more than water and calcium chloride, but it wont destroy my rims. There's a weight difference too. Calcium chloride has the ability to make water weigh more than it's own weight. (as much as 2 pounds per gallon more) The washer solvent only weighs 8 pounds per gallon, as opposed to the "potential" 10 pounds per gal. you can get with cal. chlor. Another downside with fluid in tires, is do you ever have to deal with flat tires. It's a royal pain if there's fluid in the tires. Much easier if there's just cast weights to deal with. The downside to cast weights......Keep a wrench handy. They're always coming loose. (And hernia surgery is costly/painfull) John
