Good time to by WWF for loading tires

[SPYDERLK]

I tried the orange stuff once / never again.
It left a white milky film on the windshield and the glare from on coming head lights was so bad that i had pull over off the road as i couldn't see a thing through the glaring film .

evaporation.

I never had any other WWF do that winter or summer.
For some reason that stuff just naturally steaked the window
really bad..

Im not sure how that works out. Seems like it would be more.

You are correct. 0.69 x 120= 82 bucks. Still less than the $320 retail price for 120 gallons.

I may have confused myself as at one point I was going to buy less of the -30 stuff and dilute it to -15 or -20 which is all I really need. In the end it was so cheap I just bought more.

I bought all 60 gallons of the orange stuff (I have a Kioti and it had to match ) QUOTE]

Are you sure its not Kubota orange

I am glad you got the Kioti orange and not the New Holland blue or the John Deere green stuff

Sorry had to say it. I am looking for something to load my tire with. I have been looking at the rim guard also but still looking at the WWF due to the less expense.

Astonishing as it may sound some people are actually putting it in their windshield washers.
I tried it once.
Worked too except for the bad filming of the window.

Probably better there than in their wind shied washer tank.

I bought 24 gals of WWF today at Advance Auto to load my new turfs. The response from the guy working there, "You want how much?!?!?!?"

I'm going to try what a co-worker did to load the rears of his JD X595. He let the air out, broke the bead on one side, and just poured it in. Then the old ratchet-strap deal to re-seal the bead. Or maybe I'll try the starter fluid (to reseal, not to load).

I just ordered new tires for our 8N & pulled off the wheels this morning, which to my surprise were partly loaded. The dealer here still uses calcium chloride which I don't really want to use, & is how I ended up on this thread.

The wiper fluid seems like a good idea. See if I can find some off-season stuff.

Also, they go through alot of RV anti-freeze around here winterizing summer camps & I think it is around the same price per gallon as some of the prices quoted earlier in the thread for the WWF. I think it is a -50F product so it could be slightly diluted. Has anyone tried/heard of using that?

Also how full do you try to get them?

Totally full for the weight or half-full for the lower center-of-gravity?

Antifreeze in the form of propylene glycol or ethylene glycol should work fine as tractor tire ballast. It typically is a bit more expensive than methanol based freeze resistant fluids but if you can get it cheaply there is no reason not to use it.

Regarding how much to put in a tire: never fill it completely. 75% is max fill for weight. 50% would be right to maximize stability.
