The way I do it on tubeless tires is to lay the tire and rim flat on the floor with the valve stem were you break the bead in a small spot and pour it in.( Slowly ) As the tire fills you can slowly lift the stem side up and pour till no more will go in. I can get almost 9 gallons in 23x10.50s. The total weight in each is right at 90 pounds in Carlisle True Trac. Air it up and install. It is a huge help but for snow narrow tires with chains are best.

I used the tool that attatches to the valve stem with a bleeder valve and then to a garden hose fitting. I had a drill pump that I put the other end into a 5 gal bucket. It wasn't the fastest but wasn't all that bad. Got the valve stem adaptor at TSC for around $10.00. They had WWF on sale for $1.50 per gal, but don't know about now.

More than one way to skin a cat. Thanks for the suggestions and tips.

I keep the throttel and choke cables lubed with WD-40 at all times druing the snow season.

Have used it twice since doing it. We got another 5" today and had no trouble at all. Now when I go thru the yard to the the dog kennels, if I don't pay attention, I doze the ground, where before I would just stop and spin. I have also made a bracket with a 1" allthread (like one I saw on here) to put another 50lbs of barbell weights or so on each wheel. Hope to get that set up this weekend. Thanks to all for the ideas I get off of here.

So it sounds like you got about 50 lbs. in each tire, now you are adding another 50 lbs. to each. That will make a huge difference, maybe even try that before changing out the tires. You mentioned the ground was soft so I wonder if you're better off with the tires you have.

If you can add another 100 lbs. on your rear hitch you'll go through almost anything!

Thats what I'm hoping for.
