Water in Rear Tyres

Reggie.

As above. Has anyone done it? Is it a good job? What do you have to look out for if ya do it? Is it safe at 40kph?

Landini just needs abit more weight on the rear

I remember they had imported tractor in where I used work before and lad come in to replace back tyres in the workshop and after breaking the bead realised they were full of water :pac:


I'd imagine it's good for ploughing/power harrowing??as it push weight down on back axle?

And for loading bales. Weight needed

Buy a heavier tractor
Would wheel weights not do the sane thing?

Say my name

If you go back to physics though.

You can compress and decompress air.
You can't compress water.

Any flexing while driving is going to come directly (100%) from the tyre wall.

Get bolt on hub weights.

True.

Can u source them secondhand? Wouldnt be very common in Ireland but common enough on tillage farms abroad.

Mooooo

Be a nightmare to hook up to a trailer with that attached tho.

Make a better one yourself with a frame some tractor front weights and maybe a hydraulic toplink to adjust view and even change their effect by pushing out as far as possible when actually doing loader work. Mount weights high on frame and have toplink piviot them down and out, you will have better view picking up trailer and clearance of drawbar.

Wouldn't be in a hurry to fill tyres anyway. Grand job for a yard tractor but will effect comfort and handling on the road as well as reduce tyre life.

My pick hp hitch is independent of lift arms. Raised and lowered on spool. Is it the same on dini or do arms go up and down with hitch?

You could make a heavyweight bracket that'd bolt to tractor chassis itself instead of being held on liftarms.

It's the dromone hitch. It's telescopic aswell to add awkwardness

So what are u thinking now?

Water idea prob out anyways

Yeah. Just have to chew the fat on it. I think the landini weights are light enough. Only 60kg a go. Would need a good 100kg per weight min

ganmo

Is there such a thing as hollow hubs that can be fitted to the wheel and filled with water?

Waffletraktor

We inherited weights that will bolt to the hub in 2 sets of 300+325 each side for one job a year with the wheeled tractors to avail of modern tyre tech.. Water wouldn't be an issue just a pia carrying the extra weight the whole time vs cracking beads to let it out every time you don't need it if you even do let it out after. Look up agriaffaires the euro website for kit might get a bargain.

I’ve 4 rear wheel weights that we threw off a Case. I think they’re 300kg a piece.

Small price...

MF290

Wheel weights are supposed to be harder on the front end of a tractor than weights on the rear linkages for loader work, sea saw effect. Wouldn’t know how marginal the difference is though.

How do they put water into the tube?

2nd hand dini wheel weights on dd at the min

thetiredfarmer

I had Water in rear tyres of tractor for 10 years from new. never had a puncture.
tyres were filled to 10 o clock position and then pumped. It worked perfectly and made tractor a lot more stable handling silage bales. tractor carried double bale lifter for the 10 years drawing in about 4/5k bales each year. However .......7k hours on tyres and side wall on one bulged out so I changed both this month.
Tractor feels livelier but a lot less stable over any kind of rough ground. I won't refill them again until I really have to.

Would they fit I wonder? Ya may send on pics

Odelay

Ran a volvo 180 for years with water in the rear tires. Never a problem. Have a heavier machine now so no need for it.
My concern would be Legionellosis for someone changing the tire.
Never had an issue when changing them, but there is always the chance. Wouldn't go back to it without investigating the risk.

I always intended to add anti freeze but never got around to it. :eek:
