Dave,

It's your tractor, so do what you wish.. I myself side with chloride.

Yes.. it is corrosive.. But I have a 1962 Case 930 and a 1967 AC D-17..

Both are loaded with chloride, and have been since new (or close to new) and both HAVE ORIGINAL RIMS STILL.

The Case still has original tires, so the line about it causing added wear to the tires, yea, I'm not buying that. The Allis, the tires have been replaced, but the old tires had a lot of road hours on them, much like the ones that were put on it in the late 80's do today (yes, I remember watching my uncle and grandfather unload, change, and reload the tires as a youngster.. thought it was odd that they would put water in tires at that age LOL)

I personally don't see any significant ride difference from one of the "loaded" tractors to one that is not loaded.. Maybe if you do a lot of road travel it makes a difference.

Wheel weights? I want to see you put the same pounds of weights on the wheel as you can put pounds of fluid in the tire.. Gonna take ALOT of weights.

I'm sure straight water could damage a tire in freezing conditions.. But, I am from Michigan, and I had a dual wheel that was loaded with straight water. It came on the tractor that way, and talking to the owner, it had been that way since at least the early 80's (his uncle was owner, and he passed away in 82, I bought the tractor about 5 years ago from the spot his uncle had parked it in the fall of 81) I am sure it could freeze solid though, as our swimming pool does nearly every winter.

Oh, and like the others said.. Cheap, easy to obtain, heavier, and around here, it's what the tire man uses, so like the others said, if repair guy comes it shouldn't mess up his solution/tank/pump.

Again, you own it, so it's your call.. But I'd use chloride.

Brad

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
