Gempler's Ultraseal Does Work!

Thought I would pass this on. When I purchased I did not see to many threads with actual performance.

It really saved my butt today. I was doing a job cleaning up a yard today. I had my rear blade on the ground next to my trailer on the side of the road and my box on the tractor. Had I not had ultraseal in there I am sure the tire would have come off the bead and wouldn't of had a way to get my rear blade back on my tractor and get home.

As to why the tire failed like that I am not sure. I did loose all pressure last winter and the tire came off the bead, maybe damaged it. It coming of the bead is why I put ultraseal in.

Of course all the tire shops are closed today and tommorow for the holiday. Has anybody purchased front R-4 for their tractors? I am guessing about $150 per tire?

My eyes could be deceiving me but it looks like the rim itself is actually torn! If so you need a rim and a tire!

yup!
it actually looks like old damage to the lip of the rim and it rusted and failed?

I will know for sure when I get the tire off but I cleaned it up and I think the bead of the tire just failed because of me letting it get low enough to come off the rim. Here is a little better picture. Either way just wanted everybody to see what the performance of Ultraseal.

How much ultraseal per tire? I have it in my golf buggy tires to ward off mesquite thorns but I just replaced my front tires on my tractor (yep $150 per) and want to put the ultra in them as well. I need to order some from gemplers -- how much do I need?

My tires which are 28x8.5-15 took 47 ounces per tire, less than one gallon. The amount that you put in is precise, they say too much is as bad as not enough.

I got the new tires today and the old ones off. The bead was ripped for sure. I am almost positive that it happened this winter when the tire came off the bead. It was cold and dark when I put it back on and didnt notice:ashamed:
