Just filled my rear tires with beat juice and it is night and day difference! Worth every penny!

[tireballastserviceofflorid]

That was a fun fill. Thanks for having Rim Guard and I out. Give Bella some kisses for me.

[aaronburford]

Love this video and content! I just never knew all of this goes into the tractor usage process. Unbelievable! liked, viewed, .shared, subscribed! This is impressive!

[michaelthorp]

I switched to rim guard same guy came out. And switched from water to rim guard. It has made a huge diffrence. I do live in florida. I highly r recommend rim guard but also the gentlemen who come out excellent service.

[carmenmariacortesmarin]

This is a twist for me. I love beets, but to eat them and also in juice. Never thought it could be used in a tractor tire. Awesome video, and Greg seems like a very nice guy.

[ITStartsNet]

Thank you for sharing rhe process! Would love to know what changes you notice with the additional weight.

[johnhelbig]

The tractor dealership I worked at in the late ‘70s thru late ‘80s used calcium chloride mixed in water for tire ballast. The dealership I moved into in 1988 was using methanol mixed with water; in our area in central Missouri, we used 1 gallon of methanol to 2 gallons of water for protection to -20 degrees. I investigated RimGard when it first came out 15-20 years ago, but it required a special bulk tank at that time to handle deliveries from a tanker truck plus the different equipment to install it. That plus the virtual tripling expense per gallon kept us from ever switching over. RimGard is a good solution for maximum weight if your rear wheels are not drilled for wheel weights.

[jamesscroggins]

Very interesting topic, what a great option

[mikerequa]

Good video young man!! I've loaded my own tires on last 2 tractors. One with methanol n water. One with rv antifreeze n little water. Just bought a new kioti ck3520se tractor want to load these also. I saw a video on ask tractor Mike about bio ballast it's made from grains here in missouri like to get some of it. Tire places around here said they won't mess with the rim guard not sure why but cant afford that price anyway. I still love looks of that summit tractor. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'll time together and homestead

[michaelthorp]

I looked up online rim guard has an excellent web site and gave me the contact info he live about an hour and half from me but came out and explained everything and how to check the air and pressure to mantain. And this is the same guy you see on the ytube

[lorettacox]

Had never heard of Rim Guard until this video.

[ortizfarm]

@pineygrovehomestead i’ve been looking into a solution like this, im in st lucie county fl. Do you know if they’re in my area?

[johnmcnally]

Didn't catch if you mentioned the cost? I was quoted $800.00+ to fill two 15-19.5 tires. To be fair that included transport of the tractor to the dealer, $230.00. At approximately 29 gallons per tire for a 75% fill, the Rim Guard alone would cost $570.00 +/-. I bought 60 gallons of RV antifreeze, tire adapter, valve tool, drill pump and a 10"0" length of 1/2" poly tubing, total cost of $231.00. Not knocking Rim Guard at all, although the quotation, included at no extra charge to empty my wallet. For about 30 additional pounds per tire. I'll just drink more beer! If I ever get a puncture and lose the fill, I would rather buy RV antifreeze -50-degree freeze temperature at $3.99 +/-per gallon than $5.80 for the Rim Guard, not to mention the mess and additional cost of transportation. By the way, 3 recommended dealers never returned my call/request for a quote.

What type of beets are used to make the beet juice? Is it red beets? Or is it sugar beets?

[doughershberger]

They actually use a solution of beet juice as a de icing agent on the roads up here.

[grizz]

I think I would have a hard time spending $5 a gallon on Rim Guard for the 170# gain over plain water, in the case of this Kubota. Only a 170 pound difference between $5 dollar a gallon Beet Juice and Free Water.

[Dale]

I looked last week, and the closest rim guard dealer to me is close to three hours away. It is hard to justify that, but I need my tires filled and don't want to use water.

[kmfsi]

Now how much air pressure do you need to run in the tires? My dealer said they added beat juice to my tires, but its not red. its brown and smells awful! kind of like fish. Was wonder what the tire pressure gague would register on yours now.

“.. the chloride means there’s sodium …” No, it means there is chloride, which is chlorine ions.
