Flat Proofing Slow leak in Turf Tire

[Mrez]

Turf tire 16.7 x 24 on my 3930. after 2 days she is flat.
I have sprayed soapy water all over the tire, rim and valve stem.. many times, I even put a 1/2 gallon of green slime in the tire and it still leaks!!

Any suggestions?

Are you sure there's no tube in the tire?

I dont think 1/2 a gallon of slime is anywhere near enough for a tire that size.

After scratching our a$$es until sore, the persistent kid at farmer's co-op discovered why this implement tire had a slow leak. All the spot welds leaked. I sand blasted and applied J-B weld then all was well. Just to inform this is a possibility.

I just tube mine when they leak and carry on. Coat the tube in baby powder before installing , it helps��

I put tubes in my tubeless tires. I also found that the wheels (intended for tubeless tires) have quite a few very sharp edges and wire remnants due to the welding process. Without knowing this at first, I was having tube failures with no apparent tire puncture. Sometimes you see rubber bands fitted to wheels to protect the tubes from such damage.
