Any concerns with using washer fluid as ballast?

RimGuard isn't available within an hour or more of me...despite what their advertisement has you believe...

I can get bulk washer fluid from a company a mile down the road....probably better than nothing - unless I'm not aware of a risk with that?

Should I have tubes added or not necessary?

Never used it in a tractor, but I did use washer fluid to load the rear tires in my rider mower. Just used the -20 stuff you get at Walmart. Been 10 years or so and no problems.

No... I did a DIY install of 25% antifreeze and 75% washer fluid.. The anti freeze used because of our growing zone 2 winter temps..

This mix is not as heavy as other alternatives, but much more available, cheaper materials and not hard to DIY install... Just some what time consuming to do..
