What are you putting on your field that ruins paint & rusts through metal faster than calcuim chloride? Lime,fertizer or hay curing agents are nasty but they can be washed down& oiled for the off season.CaCl can be avoided. Ever look at used machinery & see the mess CaCl leaves behind?
It's "normal" for leakage & corrosion from the valve stem of a CaCl filled tire. Uncommon is the tire valve that doen't weap a little. Or drips & leaks while topping up with air or testing.A CaCl tire without rust around the stem is rare indeed.
The extra pounds per square inch weight of your tractor compacting soil should concern you.
A filled tire is rougher driving over incompressable objects, there is less air space to sqeeze & the pressure rises faster.
The ride over objects soft enough to flatten or if the soil is soft enough to squeeze objects into will be softer with a heavier machine. So just use external ballast for a soft ride.
Why even use ballast these days anyways? Just because Dad & Grandpa did ,we don't have to. If using radial tires & ground speeds of at least 3, usually 4 to 6 MPH all the HP can be put to the ground.It's a wheeled tractor not a track machine. The main exceptions now are some 2WD loader tractors or with heavy rear mounted implements.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
