    Rear tire fill - your thoughts appreciated

    Ok - you believe a Youtuber. I believe: 1) Commercial sites like Yanmar (the tractor people) plus many more https://www.yanmartractor.com/resources/tractor-tips/liquid-ballast/ 2) The fact that Windshield wiper fluid or the same mixed at tractor dealers has been used for many, many decades...

    Rear tire fill - your thoughts appreciated

    You are just being obtuse to try to have an argument. The products being discussed are all Non-Corrosive, and it seems water based. There is no utility to this exchange.

    Rear tire fill - your thoughts appreciated

    No, your non-like products comparison is ridiculous and pointless. I do not even know why you are trying to make this argument. Both Rim Guard and Windshield wiper fluid are non-corrosive. So, there is no utility to state that other completely unrelated products with water are different. My...

    Rear tire fill - your thoughts appreciated

    Sounds like you found a great solution for your needs. I did notice that the SDS sheet that they provide on their site lists the contents as: 30-70% organic based components and the remainder is water (so 70-30% water). I would expect that Rim Guard is very similar.

    Well if it is different, Rim Guard can reply and explain. Your listing different things with water in it to show wild differences is meaningless. We know Windshield wiper fluid has alcohol, water and some very small amounts of additives. We know that Rim Guard has processed organic material...

    Rear tire fill - your thoughts appreciated

    You care because claiming water and water based ballast is bad for wheels/tires rings hollow, if your product is also water based. Rim Guard offers higher weight for a higher price - good, a worthwhile choice for some. As others have noted above (and I noted in my original post), water based...

    Rear tire fill - your thoughts appreciated

    Well riddle me this: what is Rim Guard? It is the refuse/by-product of sugar beet processing - OK. This by-product is a relatively low viscosity liquid to freely move within the tractor tire at tractor speeds, or is something added to the by-product to make it a low viscosity liquid? Rim...

    Flail mowers on a BX

    I have noticed cows feeding directly after mowing with both rotary cutter and finish mower. They seem to like the chopped grass and weeds, and they also have better access to the tender grass near the ground. Cows are lazy. It is a good thing; it makes them tender.

    Flail mowers on a BX

    Italy - many of the smaller, high quality flails are made in Europe. Again, a 3 pt. finish mower will do anything and more (rear discharge) that your mower deck can do. Also, much less complex (easy to work on) and simple to use (set height and drag around). Good luck with your search.

    Del Morino flails have a good reputation. https://messicks.com/new/model/del-morino-funny-top-series

    Flail mowers on a BX

    You also may want to consider a rear discharge 3 pt. finish mower; it might be less expensive for the same or better cut (presuming that you are mowing your lawn (which is what your mower deck is usually used for) versus an overgrown field. I have a Land Pride rotary cutter and a Land Pride...

    Box Blade

    We have a very steep short (the steep part) gravel driveway at our property in north Georgia (where the tractor lives). During heavy thunderstorms, the driveway looks like a river with all of the water flowing from the top of the hill (where the flat land is). I use a box blade to repair the...

    Well, I am a salt and pepper smoker for most things, but here are two rubs that I use: Pork Ribs = 1TBS cumin, 1 TBS paprika, 1 TBS garlic powder, 1 TBS onion powder, 1 TBS chili powder, 1 TBS brown sugar, 2 TBS salt, 1 TSP cayenne pepper and 1 TSP pepper - coat the ribs, and let them sit...

    As answers are not flying in, you could make the pork loin (better if the bones are still attached) like reverse seared pork chops. Slice the loin into medallions or chops, and then smoke them for a couple of hours. Afterwards, you sear and finish them on a regular grill. I have done 1.5-2...

    Turn the Pork Belly into Burnt Ends - lots of recipes/youtubes on the net. They all yield something similar. I made Burnt Ends with a thin cut brisket last week. Being from the South, pork BBQ always tastes better to me.
