I thought this to be informative info. I'm sure this applies to many different brands, low vs higher quality.

The info that they provide is flawed, I.E. he bought cheap junk, I have an outside unheated toilet and sink and I've filled it with RV antifreeze for years and even at -20 is still fully liquid.

Besides that, what does carpet cleaning equipment have to do with tractors? :unsure:

What??? You mean I'm the only one without carpet on my tractor decks???

I thought I was a bit of a strange dude, but maybe I have to reconsider!
Astro turf is more boot friendly! ;)

The context, not the particular application. The end results (test) all apply to use, do they not? Yes, they do.

Punctuality (tractor) doesn't always need to apply.

The cheapo is probably ethanol based. I prefer the propylene glycol base (much like engine coolant) since it really does have a very low slush point.
Edited to correct propylene.

There are three types of RV antifreeze: ethanol, propylene glycol, and propylene ethanol. Ethanol is the cheapest of the three options; however, propylene glycol is the most popular option for RVs and boats.
