Re: (ET) ET parts



Ballast fluid inside tractor tires is common for farm use, sometimes showing up in garden tractors. Calcium chloride solution has often been used but destroys the steel wheel over time. This web site lists several options including beet juice(!): https://www.iamcountryside.com/tractors-farm-equipment/tractor-tire-fluids-rundown/

One of the various large-frame tractors I've come across had ONE rear tire filled for extra weight. I was vaguely aware the tractor was a bit heavy to roll around. When I went to take off the rear tires I did a cartoon-worthy move as I suddenly felt the full weight of that particular tire :-)

I've also heard of putting weights *inside* the tires. Maybe someone else
has experience with that.
