The best solution for FEL counterweight is weight added behind the rear axle. I use ballast boxes filled with bagged playground sand as such are both heavy and rather small so do not interfere much with maneuverability. Many folks, such as George, below construct their own counter-weights from steel, concrete, etc.
Rim Guard is made from beet juice, does not freeze and is non corrosive. It is slightlly heavier than standard CaCl solution but considerably heavier than windshield washer fluid. It is considerably more expensive than either. It cannot be installed without special equipment, meaning that you will need to take tractor or loaded wheel to your dealer to repair mamage, etc.
Unlike CaCl, most folks install Rim Guard into tubeless tires without installing tubes. Rim Guard has resulted in tubeless tires slipping on the rims, especially if one does not properly monitor pressure. Any slippage, puncture, etc., is a real problem because things must be thoroughly cleaned before reinflation to avoid future slippage issues.
I use only cast iron and ballast boxes when using FELs to avoid such issues and because I still mount/dismount/repair my own tires and have no way of handling liquid ballast.
Liquid ballast is the easiest solution, while a counterweight is the best solution for most situations.
