Loading tires
I've been thinking about loading the tires on my 1450 with liquid, but another thread gave me another idea. What about using lead pellets instead of liquid? It is 3 times more dense, doesn't leak, doesn't eat away at the rim, doesn't freeze, it's re-usable. I'm thinking it can be loaded with a funnel through the side of the tire. It is also fairly inexpensive. Anyone ever try it? Any pitfalls?
Here's 50bs for ~$80 including shipping, I'm not sure what calcium chloride costs. http://www.zipmetals.com/product.asp...FU-PHwodAaUArQ

9 gallons of washer fluid = ~72#, cost roughly $15, will not corrode your rims and will not leak out unless you get a hole. If you get a hole park it with the hole at the top
 You can load it the same way with a funnel and you can reuse it as well. But I do not plan on switching tires out that often to worry about reusing $30 worth of washer fluid. Just my $0.02.

I've done 2 sets of 23x8.50 tires with washer fluid and each tire holds 6 gallons, it takes 12 gallons to do a tractor which cost about $25 bucks. The lead pellets will act like sandpaper as it rolls around inside the tire and will strip the paint off the wheels and will also chew up the inside of the tire.

Definitely a lot cheaper to go windshield fluid. I guess that's the way to go unless for some reason you have a need to add more than the ~70# per tire the fluid can provide.
Very interesting read http://www.google.com/patents/US2884039

Make sure the washer fluid has anti-corrosive properties displayed on label.
With the advent of all plastic windshield wash systems installed on most vehicles over the past 10+ years, some brands are not adding the anti-corrosion ingredient. Most washer fluid is water with some methanol and ethanol as the main ingredient (1% to 33%). Without other additives the mixture promotes corrosion.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
