Concrete, dirt, burnt oil, hot roofing tar, ground up recycled tires, corn syrup, molasses, liquid nitrogen not good alternatives? Where are you at Jerry? Do you need an antifreeze product? Down here in Florida we use some really nasty, toxic stuff called well water. Slap a tube in the tire to protect the rim, get tubes for radial tires if you have em, hook up the water hose and fill er up. If you get good enough at it you dont even have to use the air compressor when your done. What I could never figure out is why you would go through the mess of dealing with CaCl for an extra 600 - 800 pounds on a tractor that already weighs 10,000 pounds. That is except for antifreeze purposes. And if your tractor uses 50 gallons of diesel a day you loose about 400 lbs of ballast as the day goes on. I think I will go to work on a tire heater that replaces the valve stem so you could just use water. Does anyone know if a tire with 20 lbs of air weighs more than a flat tire? Tims$.02
