There are several ways you can liquid fill a tire, through the stem I guess is how I did a set one time. It was slowwwww.
I've heard of folks laying the tire sideways on the ground and cracking the tire/rim bead a bit and pouring liquid in them.
My problem with liquid was several fold:
1. I tried to use it with tubes to keep the liquid off the rims and rust to a minimum. Eventually I got a thorn that gave me a flat tire and fluid in the rims anyway.
2. If you use a tube and they have liquid in them, it is a pain to drain the fluid for a patch.
3. I never liked fluid in the rims without a tube from a rust point of view.
4. When I did try fluid with no tube, it seemed like the rubber of my tires got softer and less able to hold their shape. I've got a set of Firestone 23 deg ag tires this happened to and they are pretty much trash.
What I do now is use ag tires with wheel weights. I've had tremendous success with that and my tractor goes like a Jeep.
Also, recently with my 109, I've just been running chains and that's been great too.
Nice tractor you have with the 149
