Ok, I am sure I will be laughed at here, but here is what I did: First, I removed the tire and laid it down flat on the ground, valve stem up. I got the pointed top off of a quart gear oil bottle and Duct-Taped it onto a gallon of anti-freeze. I did this on 2 gals per tire, and SLOWLY poured it in through the valve stem. And I mean it takes a while, and some patience! After that, I got one of those water hose nozzles that makes a sharp stream, and barely turned the water on and filled it through the valve stem. Again, patience is required. Now, don't do like I did and lay the tire down just outside the garage behind your vehicle because you won't be able to move it by yourself! (I got stranded for a while, but that is another story...) Get someone (or someones) to help you and put the tire back on. You will have to jack the lugs to the tire, not lift the tire to the lugs like a car. I did this 3 years ago, and it has been fine here in North Ga. Others here will argue that Calcium Chloride is better, and it is heavier, but I don't farm for a living and the water/AF combo works great for me! And, by the way, I found out later that almost any tractor supply house has an attachment for the hose for filling tractor tires. Anti-freeze will still require patience though. Good Luck!

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
