Sounds like a good product. How do you know how much weight to add to a tractor?
ОтветитьThr right way is to use weights.
Ответитьnice alternative. Not as heavy as beet juice but cleaner and won't freeze.
ОтветитьSo according to the salesman..... The only disadvantage of beet juice or "Rim Guard" is that you can't mix it with other fluids. Why would you want to? If I do a tire repair tomorrow, I put Rim Guard right back in and wouldn't have a thought of mixing something else with it. It's messy? So is engine oil, transmission fluid and coolant. This smells of a product endorsement kick back to me. Is this a better solution than beet juice or Rim Guard? Maybe, but in my opinion it doesn't seem like there's that much difference to me.
ОтветитьGreat alternative to see. Dad never did want calcium chloride. Some other you tubers really push beet juice. Glad to hear how messy it is. Wouldn't want that.
ОтветитьIs there a link for a dealer locator?
ОтветитьHorrible acoustics inside that building, hard to clearly understand everything that was said.
ОтветитьIf it is so easy to use and nonhazardous why can't I buy it and install it myself?
The reason some of us use things like windshield washer fluid or RV antifreeze is; 1) It's cheap. 2) We can install it ourselves. 3) We are not concerned about the nominal weight difference (55.5 pounds more according to video on a 420/70-24 tire that I have on my small tractor) over water. 4) The SDS has the same hazards as Bio-Ballast 5) It works.
Salesman advised me right up front you need something on the rear with that loader bucket, pulled out the spec's figured out max load on the rear axel and total tractor load ect. and ordered the tires be filled before I took the tractor home, was lucky to have a great dealership who cares about there customers.
ОтветитьOpinion on drilling for a second valve stem 180 out, to make putting in and removing liquid ballast easier?
ОтветитьCan this be purchased direct by an end customer? in something like 5 gallon buckets or 55 gallon drums?
ОтветитьI fill my tires with possum spunk
ОтветитьUsing rough numbers, rim guard is about 1.5 lbs heavier per gallon. That could make the difference overall in being able to lift max loader weight or not. 100 gal would be 150 lbs difference in ballast weight.
But no doubt if Bio Ballast is available locally, it's a no brainer. Tire ballast really does help.
I use cacl for dust control and collect some from tire dealers that changed out calcium for bio ballast due to ease of use and large distribution network, never worked on a tire but tire guys don’t like beet juice.
ОтветитьI found a dealer locater and more information on Bio-Ballast on MLCR, LLC website.
ОтветитьThanks Mike. Nice to know about this alternative to RimGuard. If I listened properly, it sounds like EnviroTech’s product has a lower freezing point than RimGuard. I suppose now it comes down to which product is cheaper, and how far i need to haul my tractor from Wisconsin’s north woods (~15 mi. South of Lake Superior). Very rural, and very cold in winter, sometimes early spring too. Thanks for covering this important topic!
ОтветитьForgot to ask: is it true that you need to change your valve stems when filling tires w/ any liquid ballast? If true, seems to me you’d want to do that up front, before filling the tires. Please confirm - or bust - this “word in the field.” Thanks again Mike.
ОтветитьBio-Ballast and Rim Guard Beet juice and not available in Arizona and shipping is out of the question. So my three choices were plain water, window washing fluid, or RV & Marine Anti-Freeze. Water & air make rust, plus it freezes at +32 degrees so that is out. WWF & RVA were the same price at Walmart so no cost advantage either way, but WWF cannot be made non-toxic and is lighter per gallon. RVA is made for RV & Marine potable water systems so it is non-toxic, non-corrosive, is heavier than WWF, and is good to -50 degrees (it does start getting slushy at 0 degrees but we are no where near that cold here). 96 gallons gave me just over 800 lbs. of additional weight in the tires plus I have a pair of 80 lb. weights, and I leave my 530 lb. box blade on the 3 point when doing heavy loader work on my compact Kioti DK4520 tractor; it is very stable!
ОтветитьThe perfect tire fluid is water and antifreeze it preserves your tires and rims
