Using Liquid Weight

CAUTION: Installing liquid weight (ballast) requires special equipment and training. Have the job done by your John Deere dealer or a tire service store.

IMPORTANT: Cover rim completely with solution to avoid corrosion, but NEVER fill any tire more than 90 per cent full. More solution would leave too little air space to absorb shocks. Damage to tire could occur.

A solution of water and calcium chloride provides safe, economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage tires, tubes or rims.

Use calcium chloride to prevent water from freezing. A mixture of 1.6 kg (3-1/2 lb.) of calcium chloride per 0.4 kg/L (1 gal.) will not freeze solid above -45°C (-50°F).

NOTE: Use of alcohol as liquid ballast is not recommended. Calcium chloride solution is heavier and more economical.

Fill tubeless tires at least to valve level (minimum 75 per cent full). Less solution would expose part of rim, possibly causing corrosion. Tube-type tires may be filled to any level below 90 per cent.
