How do I remove rimguard beet juice?

[Skeletor]

I’m changing out my tires and my rears have rim guard in them. I pulled out the valve core and I got maybe 6-7 gallons out extremely slowly. I ended up taking the wheel off the tractor and laying it flat on the forks and putting a ratchet strap around it to squeeze it to drain the juice faster. It was miserably slow and there’s still a few gallons in there I bet. It got dark outside so I had to put it back in the tractor and put it away. I haven’t even touched the other side yet.

I have no desire to reuse the rim guard. I’ll use washer fluid or antifreeze. Rim guard is a pita if you have any tire issues it gets everywhere. It also gums up your air chucks if you get any inside.

Any suggestions on how to speed this up? Thanks, mike

Break the bead if you are not trying to save the rim guard and dump it out.

Break the bead then insert one of those battery transfer pumps for short money at Harbor Freight. Most likely the beet juice will clog the pump but since they are so cheap I would write it off.

Smart man. The stuff is disgusting, gross, smelly slime.

I used 4 gallons of antifreeze and water for each tire, never had any problems with freezing.

You know you see people saying it’s the best thing ever on YouTube. Then you gotta deal with it. It’s pretty terrible to mess with.

I suppose I could lift the tractor up with the outriggers take the rear tires off then break the bead with the backhoe.

Anyone know what steel or iron weights I can put on this thing? It’s a Massey 1725.

Beet Juice is non-toxic, biodegradable, water soluble,

Rim Guard - The Original Liquid Tire Ballast

Rim Guard is a liquid tire ballast that maximizes pulling power, improves lifting performance, and reduces the risk of tipping.

It's liquid sugar. Break the beads and stuff a garden hose in to flush it out. Pick a place where you don't mind a quantity of sugar water.

I just found a plastic covered concrete set on fb. Their pretty beat up but weight 75 pounds each and he only wants 40 bucks. He said all 12” rims have the same bolt pattern for those.

I’d probably rinse it out with a garden hose, as long as its not super cold
