Tire Fluid Ballast

[scsims]

I just talked with my dealer to see what kind of fuild that they used in my tires and they said it's called Polypurethane (basically RV antifreeze) said it's non toxic and garanteed not to rust or corrode the rims.

Has anyone heard of this?

Are you sure it was Polypurethane? Google doesn't know what that is, other than a common misspelling for polyurethane, which is foam.

Sorry no, have not heard of that. There are various fluids used as you likely know. Diluted anti-freeze, W/Washer fluid, calcium-chloride(not reco) and a couple recipes of beet-juice etc. I use Canadian beet juice in mine and am thus far, quite happy with it.

But mainly just wanted to say: "Welcome In" to the forum.
Good, happy tractoring!

Poly propylene glycol.. IE.. environmentally safe antifreeze.. as opposed to poly ethelyen glycol.. the hazardous stuff to your kidneys.. etc.
