I have my 23x10.5x12 turfs filled with Rimguard and they weigh between 112 and 114 lb each. That stuff is incredibly dense. I just picked up a set of 23x8.5x12 dual AGs and I'm still debating on having them filled with Rimguard or just filling them myself with antifreeze/windshield washer fluid.

Now what do I do? I've already invested in the air/water adapter at TSC, a pump. and some hose to fill my tires myself. I'm debating between wwf and rv antifreeze. I don't have the fluid yet.
I decided to email RimGuard just to see if their were any dealers close to me. Well there is, and he told me it would cost me $17 a piece to load my 23x10.5-12 tires!
What would you do? Please

I'm cheap so I made my own fluid. Used 1 gallon of methanol with 9 gallons of water in my 26 12 12 tires. methanol is what is used in windshield washer fluid and it's only $4 a gallon. So to fill two tires it cost me $8. I did a quick search and found a % for the methanol but they didn't give any degrees for it but basicaly said for cold temps use 10% and for extreme cold use 15-20%. I'm in NC plus my tractors stay inside so I just went with 10%.
Also my tires have tubes so I used the adapter kit from tractor supply, hooked a peice of garden hose to it and sucked out all of the air from the tube with a shop vac (first you have to break the bead in just one spot to let air in between the tire and tube or it will suck the tire in, ask me how I know). Then I hooked the hose to a container and let the fluid flow in. I had read that people where putting 10 gal in one tire so that is all I put in. Also, before I did any of this I put the new tubes in and filled them with air and let them stretch out for a couple of weeks.
It takes about an hour to fill each tire so I did it while I was working on other projects.

Just remember that will only work with tubeless tires.

Remember fill to only 90%
explaining:
When the valve stem is @ 12 o'clock liquid is just trying to spit out. (tire/wheel installed on tractor)
This allows for the adjustment of air pressure without fluid loss and keeps a small cushion of air so no injury to the tire if it incounters a hard hit.
also pulls better in the field(traction)

I put 7 gallons of Wal-Mart's cheap -20 we fluid in the 782 and I can tell a big difference when I was pullin the yard sweeper around dads yard picking up pine needles. On some of the hills it would spin when wet it didn't even attempt to and I was riding it around right after it rained today only cost me a little over 20 bucks

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.
