The wife was bush hogging, didn't notice a slow leak and ran a rear tire on the L2501 (92 hours) off the rim. The ballast, needless to say, mostly leaked out. I got the bead reset and tire reinflated. I since noticed a pinhole leak in the tread with some of the remaining ballast bubbling out. So the question is: Should I just spend the money to get it patched and refilled? Thanks for any advice.

In short yes.

Having a leak requires fixing regardless.

Having one tire with ballast and one without also seems unwise. On a side slope your tractor would be more stable facing one direction than in the other.
