I feel many tractor tires in my day. Use the small universal pump to put liquid into the tire and when you get close to feeling the tire up 3/4 or more you just connect the pump and push on the bleeder valve until the air escapes and when you get liquid and it's it's done. Thanks for your videos are very interesting keep up the good work looking forward to you next video. May God bless.

Super-kool vidio Mr. Chucky. Thanks for educating the public. What a Geat delivery speech. So glad you are back. Keep them coming. What a Great "Tractor & Fabricator " Professor you are.

I've been running liquid filled tires for over 30 years on compact tractors. The reason is to lower the center of gravity of the tractor and keep the tractor wheels down. I find it to be a great life saver, because life sucks with a tractor sitting on top of you. The other reason (and I may be wrong here) is that we used to figure that for every pound added to the weight of the tractor, we achieved another 1/2 pound of pull. Here in Pennsylvania we used to use a calcium/water mixture. it is hard on rims, but I got over 30 years on a pair using calcium. I now use beet juice. Our tractor dealers usually do not add fluid to tires, but our Ag tire dealers provide the service.

@coreymcdowell3471 2 года назад

I’ve been looking for this video in my 20 years of farming I’ve never had to add calcium or other types of liquid ballast but ChuckE your video made my experience entertaining and helpful

@iowastatewelder 2 года назад

Very proud of you chucke don't give up buddy been a fan for years

@DFWrancher 2 года назад

😂😂 love the 2/3 commentary. So true! Can only hope anyone who says this rust out the rims or bearings never breed.

@christopherfarmer1812 2 года назад

Rusted out fluid filled tractor rims came from using liquid calcium chloride ( same crap used for years to melt snow/ice on roads ) as a tire ballast, and the tube got a puncture and leaked or the valve stem leaked it into the tire, but luckily most everyone has quit using that garbage these days and leave it for the highway departments to spray on the roads in winter so it'll melt snow/ice and eat your car to pieces...

@quadfather44 6 месяцев назад

Good informative video.Your right about all of the misinformed people.The safety factor alone makes ballast a no brainer.

@loubrennan804 2 года назад

Use a small diameter hose that will fit loosely in valve stem opening then pump fluid thru said hose and air will be displaced from inside tire around the small hose. Will allow filling to height of valve stem.

@lanedexter6303 2 года назад

My 60+ year old Massey Ferguson has calcium chloride in one tire. The other (replaced by precious owner and air filled), I filled with the poor man’s mix, water and -20 windshield washer anti-freeze. Keep in mind: fresh water weighs 8.33 lbs. per gallon. A proper calcium chloride mix goes 11 lbs. per gallon, as does Rim Guard (beet juice). My calcium chloride tire has a bit more weight & traction than my water tire. Every pound helps!

@smoothbore4377 2 года назад

Here in PA we tend to use straight windshield washer fluid in order to get -20 degrees liquid. It takes about an hour to open 60 one gallon jugs of ww fluid and pump it into a tire with a sump pump. If you get the fluid on sale, it's about .99 cents a gallon.

@johnslesinger7109 2 года назад

You are correct. I worked for a Kubota dealer in Pa and thats what we used.

@nathandevine552 10 месяцев назад

Calcium is much heavier than water

@smoothbore4377 10 месяцев назад

So is Mercury, ... or concrete for that matter, ... but windshield washer fluid doesn't rust out your rims the way calcium will.@@nathandevine552

If you will rotate your wheel so the valve is not at TDC and your little funnel adapter hose is more horizontal and doesn't have that inverted siphon p-trap in it, you may find that it goes a lot faster.

@coolHandLuke5150 2 года назад

When i did this, i wise a 100 foot hose, filled the hose with antifreeze, then used the hose to force it in the with water pressure. Simple and easy

@G.I.JeffsWorkbench 5 месяцев назад

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

@sigmareaver680 2 года назад

I saw how someone else with a small TYM filled their tires, so I'm a little lost here because don't you need to jack up the tractor? It seems like you'd be losing tire pressure while you have that adapter screwed onto valve stem?

@redneckbmw1 2 года назад

He pulled a jack out from under it after he pulled the water hose off

My Zetor 7245 have a part on manula dedicated for liqid ballast in wheels :I But Zetor still sell wellweights.

@SuperNoticer 2 года назад

Yours has a dedicated port on the rim for liquid? That's cool. I wonder if someone added it aftermarket? I have a 7745 and it doesn't have that.

@croquest8749 2 года назад

Good job . I have to do this eventually.

@lucasdog1 9 месяцев назад

Loaded tires wont wear out wheel bearings, It doesnt add any weight to the bearings because the weight is sitting on the ground. Adding traction weight like a weight box to the 3 point does put more weight on wheel bearings, but the machine is designed to carry the weight.

@vermontmayor 2 года назад

First of all put valve stem at 10 or 2 o'clock, fill to that point. You need to fill with some air so tire can flex and not be hard as a rock.

I remember being about 15 and being handed the adapter by my boss and spending an afternoon figuring it out and getting absolutely fucking soaked in the process.

@JohnRaySalazar 7 месяцев назад

Rust! More water vs antifreeze or any product that’s anti corrosive will RUST the inside of your rim, even with tubes

@pmaint1 Год назад

ot looks like it'll take a month to fill 1 tire.

@BrokenMonkeyProductions Год назад

Is there a reason one couldn't remove the wheel, lay it on its side, pop the top side bead, pour in the required ballast, repeat the bead, and remount the wheel? I understand this is all assuming the bead easily seats.

@Drew-in-NoDak 9 месяцев назад

On smaller tires you can do it with no problem, the only thing with big tires is handling a 600 lb tire afterwards.

@paulpipitone8357 2 года назад

Sorry no tractor experience…but I thought you built a metal container to add weight do you need both the container and wheel weights sorry just confused

@flick22601 2 года назад

If you're doing loader work, you need both. When you're pulling ground engaging implements and need better traction (weight), wheel weights or fluid in tires (or both) are needed.

To steal a quote from you “ the keyboard commandos” will find fault in anything and everyone it’s just what they are and to put also frankly their one reward is the annoyance of their target. Ignoring a braying jackass can be difficult but not impossible unfortunately someone put a keyboard in front of them hence the keyboard commandos was born

@RNCHFND 2 года назад

I had no idea that people used anything other than water

@lukey6534 Год назад

Its ok as long as the tyre has a tube. Works well. With tubeless tyres it would rust the rim though.

@carmp3fan 3 месяца назад

People use pumps because they have a life and don't want to spend a week adding ballast. The parts aren't even expensive.

@tyleralger9872 5 дней назад

This has to be satire. Lol

@donald1056 2 года назад

Why don't you put the valve stem closer to the ground and just continue pouring into the funnel - it may be a little faster - suggestion only

@ldnwholesale8552 2 года назад

Only do this IF the tractor is never to be driven on the road. The water will surge all over the place causing the vehicle to nearly jump off the road. My father used to do it and eventually found any percieved benefit was lost by the time lost driving at under 5mph. This both on farm tractors as well as heavy a 3 ton bucket front end loader. And do not do this with tubeless tyres as they will probably rust onto tne rim. And tyre services will not service a puncture.

@johndough9187 Год назад

Nope.
