Can you fill radial tractor tires?

My owners manual shows how much to fill my radial tires with liquid. Just off of memory, I think it's 3/4 of the tire can be filled.

Yes they can be filled but you may notice a stiffer ride since the fluid fill slows the tire flex some. Air compresses while water has to be moved to compress the air in the tire. Smaller air volume equals greater pressure change with tire movement.

Most ag tire manufacturers do not recommend liquid ballast in radial tires. I have two tractors with radials and liquid ballast, and one tractor with radials and wheel weights. All other tractors have bias rears with liquid ballast. I do not like liquid ballast in rear radials, it negates some of the positives of radials and has a very bouncy ride on the road, I suppose due to softer sidewalls and liquid movement.
