Use Liquid Weight

RW25003-UN-07JUL93

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

IMPORTANT: NEVER fill tire to more than 75% full. More solution would leave too little air space to absorb shocks. Damage to tyre 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 0.6 kg per liter (5.0 lb of calcium chloride per gal) will not freeze solid above —45°C (—53°F).

Charts on this page show how much each tire size holds if filled to 75 % full.
