Washer Fluid?

[cold1313]

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?

One of the Kubota dealers I worked with would automatically tube the tires.

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..

Same here.
