Handy pour tip for 5 gallon buckets...put pour spout @ the top of bucket and pour away. No chugging for air, no splash and much control and accuracy of pour. No need to punch vent holes in bucket lids if you reuse them. Good video...thank you. Answered many questions for me.
Thanks for the video and showing us the process of DIY . I guess there is a product you can add to the beat juice and have puncture guard also . I have Honey Locust trees all over my woods.
I noticed you have a backhoe and according to the owners manual you should remove the ballast from the tires when the backhoe is installed. were you aware of that? what are your thoughts?
Hi Dave, Since your tractor is about the same as my old L3300 what is your thoughts between wheel weights and fluid ? I need some extra weight working down around the creek. The dealer said, that the weights available for my tractor only weigh ( I forgot ) around 100lbs. and I can put two per tire.
I don’t know if I would believe it was better to have no tire ballast with a backhoe. Yes the backhoe gives you weight and traction but it is a high centered weight and makes the tractor very tossy from side to side. I used a friends 35 horse tractor that had a backhoe with and without tire ballast and the difference was huge. It was much more stable footed and less bouncy with the rim guard than with just air. I have had a 40 horse tractor for 16 years that has had rim guard in the tires since new with no issues. I just bought a new to me used 45 horse tractor with cab to upgrade finally and I can’t believe how much worse it rides without the tire ballast and how much less traction I have trying to dig into a pile of gravel. Other than the cab and 5 more horsepower they are identical tractors in frame size, brand and tire type. I never fully realized the difference that ballast made.
made in America? It's a Kubota not a John Deere. Japanese. LOL. I know they have Kubota factories n USA but it's still Japanese. Love them anyway, I have one too. Greatest tractors ever. Thanks for the video and info.

Lost all my beet juice when I put a hole in the tire. Dealer won't sell me beet juice. They want $275 to fill my tires. You have a nice dealer.
nice audio/video demonstration. and you wore safety glasses!
The clear tube sure does take the guess work out of it. Thanks
Great video Tony. Thanks. Never would have known about the beet juice alternative vs washer fluid that everyone else seems to use.

Those things will put a hole in anything. Gnarly bastards
Great video/great idea
Nice job, thanks.

thks for the tip
It doesnt react with the rubber. It breaks down the glue over time...
Washer fluid $4-$5/gal
I have rimguard in mine, it rides horrible. See if someone you know has it before you do it.
