How To Fill Garden Tractor Tires With Washer Fluid

I haven't seen any videos actually showing how to fill garden tractor tires with washer fluid. So I shot this while filling my 110's 23x8.5 12" ag tires. I hope it helps.

Seems like it would work good for the winter. Would antifreeze be any better? I keep my set of stock wheelhorse tires with a set of chains on them for the winter then put the ags on in the summer.

@morpheusduvall Antifreeze is toxic. If your tire springs a leak you don't want that stuff spilling all over. Washer fluid is also cheaper. Just be sure to use the winter blend of washer fluid.

That is a very nice looking 110. I like the idea of washer fluid. How much weight do you figure you added?

[ArcherAce2]

@1944johndeerel About 45 lbs. per tire.

Good video!

Note that if you placed the valve stem at 2 o'clock you would fill your tires to the desired level. With a RF I'd agree, it doesn't matter.. With a 430 (2 speed) that can do 10.8mph you will notice swashing.. Still its not 60mph so it won't effect much, but you will notice what feels like a bad wheel bearing. as the fluid swashing over the top of the rim... annoying..

Rimguard has a chart on recommend gallons for most every tire size.

what is the use of haveing water filled tires? obviously its only on ag equip or does it have a use in auto too

[ArcherAce2]

@broncomatt1 Use the winter blend and it won't freeze like water in the winter when you are plowing. It doesn't rust the rims like calcium chloride. Unlike calcium chloride, windshield washer fluid is non toxic. At less then $2 a gallon it also cheap.
