Calcium Cloride heavy about 10 lbs. per gallon and is fairly cheap. The down side is if it leaks, it is very corrosive and will damage your rims. I have heard of people using windshield washer solvent or even used anti freeze instead. One draw back to these is that they don't weigh as much per gallon as CaCl. Here in Michigan some tire shops are starting to load tires with a mixture containing beet juice.(no kidding)My first choice would be to add cast iron wheel weights if you can afford them. When I use my loader I also have a heavy implement on my 3 point hitch for extra ballast. Good Luck!
