I had my tires filled on my Case 646 FEL about 6 months ago and it was just under $4 a gallon where I got it from. I found a place that would do it for closer to $3 a gallon but it was a longer drive to the place. RimGuard weighs a little less than chloride but it's not corrosive or poisonus to animals. Chloride will eat through your rims if the tube leaks, and kill your animals if they eat it. RimGuard does not require a tube so it works out to be the same price or cheaper than calcium chloride. RimGuard does require metal valve stems because it will dissolve the glue that holds the metal part into some rubber valve stems. Here is a pic of the stubby metal stems in my 646 rims, I will be using them on my 882.
