    Advice on removing an old grainery

    I do not know your age/physical limits, but I removed a hog parlor (about 1/2 that size) by myself. I used a crowbar, sledge hammer, bolt cutter, sawzall and my LX 2610. I pulled it apart board by board by tin roof panel by panel. I piled it up, and then I used my LX with the grapple to load...

    Using box blade forks to level road with tight space

    If you are going to top it with gravel, a loaded gravel truck is an excellent tool to compact the soil. A few passes over the road loaded, and then a few over the spread gravel (presuming the gravel truck spreads it for you) will be a big step towards stabilizing the road. All probably for the...

    biggest chipper for 48HP MX4800?

    https://woodmaxx.com/product/woodmaxx-mx-9900/ Made in the USA - 9 inch capacity - power feed - 7 year warranty. The correct price is $6,990 - not what is shown in the preview. Is it the largest? I do not know. I have the smallest MX series (made in USA) chipper (5 inches) for my 19.5 PTO...

    Non-corrosive water based ballast compared to other non-corrosive water based ballast - that is all that was ever up for discussion.

    You seem to have misunderstood what I posted, but the essential question I asked has been answered - water based. My general point was that all non-corrosive water based ballast products would be acceptable solutions (though each would have pros and cons).

    More insults - no facts, as expected. Of course as expected, RimGuard is water based as are other non-corrosive water based ballast products.

    Gas question

    Do you have any marinas nearby? They typically only sell non-ethanol fuel, as older boat engines and fuel systems need it.

    FDR2584 Finish Mower HP requirement

    I am sure that you noticed it weighs over 800 lbs., and the Kubota matched tractors are all larger compact tractors. FWIW, I use an FDR1660 with my 25HP / 19.5 PTO LX SU to cut 2+ acres (not flat). Like you, we do not live at the property (~250 miles away), and I cut it every month while it is...

    Ok - you believe a Youtuber. I believe: 1) Commercial sites like Yanmar (the tractor people) plus many more https://www.yanmartractor.com/resources/tractor-tips/liquid-ballast/ 2) The fact that Windshield wiper fluid or the same mixed at tractor dealers has been used for many, many decades...

    You are just being obtuse to try to have an argument. The products being discussed are all Non-Corrosive, and it seems water based. There is no utility to this exchange.

    No, your non-like products comparison is ridiculous and pointless. I do not even know why you are trying to make this argument. Both Rim Guard and Windshield wiper fluid are non-corrosive. So, there is no utility to state that other completely unrelated products with water are different. My...

    Sounds like you found a great solution for your needs. I did notice that the SDS sheet that they provide on their site lists the contents as: 30-70% organic based components and the remainder is water (so 70-30% water). I would expect that Rim Guard is very similar.

    Well if it is different, Rim Guard can reply and explain. Your listing different things with water in it to show wild differences is meaningless. We know Windshield wiper fluid has alcohol, water and some very small amounts of additives. We know that Rim Guard has processed organic material...

    You care because claiming water and water based ballast is bad for wheels/tires rings hollow, if your product is also water based. Rim Guard offers higher weight for a higher price - good, a worthwhile choice for some. As others have noted above (and I noted in my original post), water based...

    Well riddle me this: what is Rim Guard? It is the refuse/by-product of sugar beet processing - OK. This by-product is a relatively low viscosity liquid to freely move within the tractor tire at tractor speeds, or is something added to the by-product to make it a low viscosity liquid? Rim...
