Dry Ballast For Tractor Tires Not Recommended
Manitoba agricultural engineers advise against using dry ballast for tractor tires under normal farm operating conditions. They cite valve failure, partial flattening, difficult repairs, higher costs, and heat buildup risk with road-use, recommending water or calcium chloride ballast instead. They note dry ballast offers little advantage and boilerplate caveats apply.
