Rear wheel ballast 1812
 

has any one added washer fluid to there 1811-1812 if so how much in each wheel,
I am thinking of adding liquid ballast to my 1812 for plowing. I'm curious of the pros and cons, and how you guys did it. thanks

I have CaCl2 in the tires on my 1811. About 7 gal per tire IIRC.

I did my 1864. Here is the thread. I think all methods are covered by others that commented.

I had a hard time breaking my tires down so I used the washer pump on my truck. Removed cores for valve stem, clamped a piece of fuel line over valve stem, unplugged washer line from the tee going to washer nozzles on truck. Put the washer line inside fuel line and just used the pump and washer bottle on the truck. About 20 min to do both wheels and all I had to buy was a few feet of fuel line and one clamp.

That's pretty creative! Hopefully you won't be replacing your washer pump next week.:beerchug:

That was a couple of years ago on a 24 year old Toyota with no problems.

I got 22 gallons of winter washer fluid from wal-mart just to be safe and had 3/4 gallon left over when i did my 1812 , I did have a set of bkt ags on it , turfs may take a little more . I did the Sam mac method, worked great . I did cheat a little i used my skid loader to break the top bead and then had a buddy push down on the bead while i poured the fluid in . The difference in traction is night and day better .

Your saying you got 11 gal of fluid in each 23X10.50X12 tire? :bs:

No, he just said out of the 22 gal he bought, only had 3/4 gal left.....didn't say it was all in the tire. LoL :LMAO1:

Here is a link to the RimGuard tire fill chart. http://www.rimguard.biz/wp-content/u...s-2014-PDF.pdf It will give you a good idea of how many gallons you can get in a tire. Keep in mind the weights shown are the weight of there product not the weight of windshield washer fluid.
