Does anyone put water in their tires for weight in the Summer and then drain them for cold weather ? I see a gizmo to put water in the tire. With the high cost of calcium chloride it looks to be a cheap way to add weight. Or is it too hard to get enough water out that will freeze ?? Just asking.

You sure you are pricing calcium chloride? I think it is only $0.20 a pound or so. Cheap stuff.

I guess the big cost is when the tire man does the work - It has been a while since I loaded some tires but it seemed expensive at the time. Just looking for easy cheap add on weight but don't want to do something I will regret later.

Hello Larry We pull a WD in the 6500# class and we need about 3000# weight. when we get the tractor out we fill the tires max with water from the garden hose, and when we pack it back in we drain it, 10 yrs and countinng.

I was also thinking of adding water for the summer, Gempler's has adapters for adding fluid. You wouldn't be able to get all the water out but the little thats left in there would have room to freeze, as long as you don't use it in the winter it should be fine.
