And I'll bet a tire full of molasses runs great at -40 F(C).
Where can i buy rim guard/beat juice in bulk?

At -40F I donāt run great and would have no interest in starting my tractor.

Just throwing in some info for this thread.
Because of this post I ordered GeoBEET and today was delivered (2)55 gallon drums. They ran $219ea plug shipping.
As for the unloading, I'm trying to determine if I should be happy or bummed about the tractor's performance (LS MT242 w LL3003 loader); it wouldn't curl the load it could carry, running at 2500rpm, about topped out.
Both drums were wrapped on one pallet. The fluid weights approx 11lbs/gal. Giving me 1210lbs of fluid, plus pallet and container weight, and 275lbs of 42" pallet forks/mount. All totaling around 1600lbs. Had the pallet tucked all the way to the mount plate as I could.
The loader lifted the pallet off the truck fine but I could not get the loader to curl so I could lower the load. Had the driver lift gate it to the ground and I picked up the pallet from there, and was able to barely curl the pallet. Of course picking up from the ground the load naturally tilted back when lifted. According to LS specs, max lift capacity @ the pin 2506lb and breakout force @ pin 3723lbs.
