How much to load tires on a 4310?

jhortonvt · Dec 6, 2004

I will be getting turf tires for my new 4310 and neglected to ask for them to be loaded as part of the package deal. Provided I can't get him to throw the loading in retroactively, how much is a reasonable price for the service?

Depending on what you get them filled with (CaCl, Windshield Washer Fluid, etc.), figure $150 to $200. That's strictly a WAG based upon what I read on TBN over the last two or three years.

I filled my own, when I had the 670. I got the WWF on sale and used right around 40 gallons for both tires (these were smaller tires then your 4310 has) as well as buying the tools to fill the tires. It cost me right around $60 and about two hours of time filling.

I paid ~ $120 to load the tires on my 2210 (RimGuard). They're quite a bit smaller than what you're looking at though.

I paid $200 (juice & labor) for RimGuard in my R4's.

He said they use Rim Guard, I assume most of the numbers are for the total cost, not the cost per tire?

Don't know about cost but found some charts that show how many gallons of Rim Guard go in different tire sizes Ballast Star

I paid $2.00 gallon for RimGuard and about 2 hours labor (@65/hour) to load two 16.9x30's (70 gallons each) Total cost $410

Tractor was originally loaded with RimGuard as part of tractor price (free I suppose)
Don't ask why I had to reload them, one twice.

I bought a 55 gallon drum of WWF and took it to the tractor tire place in town cost 30 dollars to fill the tires and the drum was 220 (I think) and they mixed it 50/50 for me. Not a bad deal.
