SW Idaho | For years farmers have been running fluid in tires for traction. It seems like, at least for me, I have been getting away with out it. I Even let the water out of a cultivator tractor this spring and didn't have any problems but I was not pulling a heavy load. Then i read a post on here about the newer tires not holding up as well especially when running fluid. maybe a radial tire thing? I have a Magnum that has a full set of weights on front and the front tires are full. After pulling hard I noticed that even on wet ground the slip meter never ran over the "best" reading. I asked a salesman about it and if I should take the fluid out or drop the weights. He said the fluid as it is more stress on the front end then the weights. I kinda felt that the weights would be harder on the pivot point and king pins then the fluid would be. He said no that the motion of the fluid is harder on things. Any opinions as I don't need both so will get rid of one or the other? | |
