cost to load tires w/ calcium ... DIY?

z0lt3c · Jun 29, 2008

Wondering if anybody knows how much it would cost to have a dealer add calcium to the rear tires of B7800? Is this something that can be done at home in DIY fashion?

Also, how much weight would this add?

Don't know for sure, but have seen posts where Dealers were getting $200 to $300 on smaller tractors than yours. If you search "Calcium Chloride" you'll get all the answers you're looking for. Dyer, retired

All I can tell you is that 3 of 4 dealers I compared prices with for my B3030 included filling the tires with rim guard. Each one said that they don't charge for it. None of them would put calcium in anymore as they claim there could be a problem with corrosion. I'm not 100% certain but I think that the loaded tires adds around 800 pounds total.
