down here in the mesquite thorn country.. yes and no..
usually will work if enough is installed... and the tractor is used regularly... so that the slime is moved around the tire often.
Exceptions... will not work on a rip where tire flexes. And driving any tire low on air will rip the tube.. so DONT do it.
does allow the tire to go flat if you park it for a long time and the hole/s is on top... as the slime will dry up a bit and allow it to leak. We are talking lots and lots of thorns... SO... use the tractor at least once a week, OR... ALWAYS park it next to the air hose, so that you can air it up and quickly drive it around a bit to reseal all the holes. Sllime will need to be replaced or added too every couple of years or so, but still beats having several flats a day. Will even work on rear tires full of water but you will need at least two gallons or more of slime.
Some of kawasaki mules have so many thousands of thorns in them,, that the tire eventually splits and leaks all the slime out. This means either a tube if your lucky, or usually a new tire.
Using the aircraft tires on the front of the tractors with slime has allowed us to continue to work the tractors with minimal down time. These 28ply tires are used on the hay equipment as well.
farm rules... NEVER leave tractor in the field, you MUST park it next to the air hose, or YOU get to fix it when you come back and its flat.... even for lunch breaks.. And insult is.. the baler tire goes flat, pops the bead and you have to disassemble half the baler to remove the tire. Lesson quickly learned.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
