I have a Broadmoor 728 and i was wondering bout putting some sort of fluid in the tires for weight for snowplowing if we ever get any snow.What is the easiest method of putting fluid in your tires and what do you guys recomend for an inexpensive fluid to do this with.Also how much fluid do you put in? Do you try to completely fill them or just half way or what? thanks 2980mike :D P.S. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU ON THIS SITE YOU GUYS HAVE REALLY BEEN A BIG BIG HELP, BEST TEN BUCKS IVE EVER SPENT

Easiest way to put fluid in a tire (providing it is tubeless) is to break the bead loose on one side. With that side up, just pour the fluid into the tire till it is as full as you can get it. Then put air in the tire to reseat the bead. You can't get it completely full, but you don't want to. You need some air space for compression, otherwise the tire would be like a rock since fluid doesn't compress. The cheapest fluid that I have heard of is the winter mix of windshield wiper fluid that is rated to -20 degrees.

Hi. The tire can be filled with fluid to the level of the valve stem when the tire is on the tractor on level groung and the valve stem is at the top. You need to leave this much air for compressibility. If you filled the tire completely full, it would be as hard as a solid tire. Fluid is not compressible and air is. Al Eden
