The calcium chloride has a very low freezing point and adds weight to the water, but is very corrosive. It's "relatively" cheap. Just make sure to fix leaks right away. I'm going to put windshield washer fluid in the tires on my Kubota L3010 instead of the CaCl solution. It will cost about $150 for the solution and not counting the labor to do it. Yeah, I could gain a few more pounds by going with the CaCl solution, but I don't want the corrosive solution in that tractor (my AC 175 already has the CaCl solution, and no leaks yet!).
Regular antifreeze solution could be kinda cashy, depending on the size of the tires. Some folks only want wheel weights and won't mess with fluid in the tires. Weights can be a real pain to remove, so there's no perfect solution to getting more weight on the tractor or in the tires.
