He walks through the specific tools used (a Harbor Freight drill pump, a Slime adapter kit, a valve stem remover), notes 14 gallons filled to two-thirds capacity at 35 PSI, and shares honest lessons learned from fumbling gallon jugs and draining drill batteries. Best for new tractor owners tackling tire ballasting for the first time.
An owner-operator sharing a genuine first-time experience on what appears to be a homestead channel, with no commercial affiliation beyond a passing thank-you to the selling dealer.
The owner loaded 14 gallons of RV antifreeze per tire, filling to about two-thirds capacity, which he considered the right amount.
A valve stem remover, a drill pump (Harbor Freight brand used here), and Slime's air water adapter kit to connect the hose and bleed air.
The tires were originally set at 35 PSI, and after loading with antifreeze the owner aired them back up to 35 PSI using an air compressor.
Set aside enough time, bleed the valve after each gallon, and keep extra drill batteries on hand since his pump battery died repeatedly.
