Rear tire leaking rimguard

[Cycledude]

My Kioti CX2510 just started leaking green fluid from the rear tire today as I was pushing snow around. First time this has ever happened to me. Have had the tractor three years but only 45 hours on it (I just bought land so I expect to really start putting the hours on)

I didn’t know what to do. Parked it and it was peeing out. Rotated the leak to the top and then got on this thread. By the time I got back out there the tire was noticeably flattening. Decided to air it up to 50 psi and the leak stopped.

Now I gotta watch to see if it’s going to leak air.

I was going to do the 50 hour service myself but if I have to haul it in for a tire issue I may just have the dealer do it. Unfortunately I don’t have a trailer to haul it (yet) but if I have the dealer come get it for service maybe he’ll cut me a break on the trailering.

Timing sucks. I’m getting ready to build a house on that land and I’ve been looking for a good trailer deal to take the tractor out there and brush hog it. Now I’m in kind of a pickle. And of course during Alabama’s snowpocalypse right now my dealer won’t pick up the phone.

It’s leaking GREEN fluid ? They mostly use Rim Guard in new tractors these days and it’s red so I’m not sure about the GREEN fluid you are seeing.
Couple years ago I was doing some brush hogging and driving in places I shouldn’t have been driving. After returning home was going to wash the mud off the tractor and that’s when I noticed one of the rear tires had some wood lodged between the rim and the tire bead , some red fluid had leaked out but not much and it didn’t appear to be leaking anymore. Stopped by a local tire dealer to enquirer about getting the piece of wood removed they said they would have a truck in my area today and they would stop in to check it out. So I told them to call me before they got there because I wanted to see how they got it out, they said they would call but they never did, when I got home the tractor was sitting right where I had left it but the piece of wood had been removed. The bill was $190, I’m just very thankful the tire wasn’t damaged or ruined.

Instead of over inflating tires especially liquid filled the tires should be mounting using a bead sealant then the fluid fill added.
I don't have a rear tractor tire over 15 psi on the place, and I don't think they do over on farm either with well over a dozen tractors.

I too added tire pressure to the rear tires that are filled with windshield washer fluid in '98 to stop some leakage around the rim of one rear tire. Not a lot more pressure, but it stopped a very minor bleeding of fluid at the tire bead. Don't consider it to be overinflating at all. Kicked it up a couple psi.

Tire pressure limits are on tire itself. No problem going to that amount. Over inflation is going above that amount and dangerous.

Tire ballast fillers that come to businesses as an outside vendor are not going to dismount or break a bead on the tires they fill. They may change a fill valve if it’s rubber.
They are in and out of one place to go to another.
Properly done is of little problem down stream.
