We have used CaCl solution in tires on our farm. There is only one tractor with that fluid remaining, and it is on the one tractor with a front end loader. We have had it in several tractors, and I don't want to use it again. That last tractor we had it in was used for multiple purposes. On the road, there just was not enough of an air cushion remaining and it rode horribly. We have had a few where some sort of leak or even a catastrophic tire failure occurred and fluid was sprayed all over the place. I prefer cast iron weight over liquid ballast. If you are going to resort to using the liquid ballast, have a plan in place to replace it with cast iron weights. I limped along for 4 years and when it was time to replace the tires, the fluid went "bye-bye" and we installed cast iron wheel weights. When it comes time to replace the tires on that one tractor with the front end loader, I am going to go with cast iron wheel weights. It seems we have a bit of fluid seeping out or around the valve stem every 2 or 3 years. I am prepared to replace the rims, too, as I know they are not in great shape either. It is my dad's tractor, though, and I will end up putting my money where my mouth is at that time and pay the bill to do it right in the end. He had been a pretty hard core person in using liquid ballast. When he rode in my 4640 hauling grain in the fall with it "juiced," he agreed with getting rid of it in that tractor.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
