Anyone load there tires with sand?
Has anyone here ever loaded their tires with sand? Good idea , bad idea? I was thinking of loading mine with sand. My tractor stays inside out if cold and moisture. I can also see the sand attracting what moisture there is in the air causing rust . Looking for opinions . Thanks!

I think it'd be more hassle then its worth. Other then attracting the moisture and holding it its going to pull the paint off the wheel causing it to rust even quicker as well as its going to slowly sand down the inside of the tire....go get ya some cheap winter windshield washer fluid. If ya wanna keep it down road. And just a thought rimguard at least in my are isnt only about 55 bucks for enough to fill 10.50s

Washed and dried pool filter sand ?
Once in the tire, where is it going to absorb more moisture? If you had the inside surface of the rim Linex'ed, the sand would not rub the paint off the rim at all. Even coating the rim with tar might do the same job. With that said, it might be a pain to keep the Schrader valve from sealing due to grains of sand interfering with the seal. You would definitely want the valve at 12 noon when checking psi, etc.

By the time u did all that prep to the rim to try and slow the processes down which I think it would eventualy strip it anyway. You'd be in the same ballpark price of windshield washer fluid. And would last much longer

I suggest that when you try to inflate the tire, some (perhaps quit a bit) of the sand would want to escape from between the tire and the wheel.
Once the bead does seal, I believe some of the sand would be trapped between the wheel and the bead of the tire, this could potentially cause the bead to leak and over time, the trapped sand could eat away the edge of the tire and the wheel as well, only causing the leaks to become worse. I do think someone should try this and report back to us, maybe a couple of times a year, in ten years or so we will have a definite answer.

RV anti freeze, windshield washer fluid or Rim Guard. End of conversation.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
