Skwerl58 770 #1 Posted March 11, 2020 Went by the local Rural King and they had the -20 Windshield Washer fluid for $1.49 per gallon so I brought home eight gallons. Already had two gallons from when I added fluid to my turf tires this winter. Added 5 gallons per rear tire by using the self filling tire suction method. Posting this as a reminder to anyone that needs ballast now is the time to look for the reduced price -20 Windshield Washer fluid. Cost per tire is less than $8.50 if using around 40 pounds per tire. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally would only do it if I had tubes in my tires. No tube you’re inviting rust to form. Even though we don’t use chloride solution anymore, water based products can be pretty corrosive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,340 #5 Posted March 12, 2020 Agreed. Seems like your inviting rust to destroy your rims and make it harder to remove the tire from the rim . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rust with a little boiled linseed oil on it buddy! As for taste, yup I’ve eaten enough to form a rust bucket in my gullet! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,553 #7 Posted March 12, 2020 Important to note; antifreeze contains rust inhibitors. Washer fluid does not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skwerl58 770 #8 Posted March 12, 2020 I researched this and decided on the -20 Windshield washer fluid. I read pros & cons and I hope that it does not eat up the wheels. If it does I will let you all know. I was tired of mashing my fingers on the wheel weights and might still use them at times. I use my tractor for plowing, mowing and some hauling. Man, how I love my Wheel Horse and our discussions about them! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
