The EPA would appreciate you using something other than Ethelene Glycol (anti-freeze) in your tractor tires. That stuff is not very healthy to have spill on the ground in the event of a tire leak.

You only get 8# per gallon with water but CaCl adds an additional 5# per gal. My tires take 50 gal each so that makes the difference between 800# of water/anti-freeze/washer fluid or 1300# of CaCl. 500# of extra weight really comes in handy and I've Hammerite coated my rims already.
