I've been working on a few upgrades to get my BX25D ready to plow some snow this winter.
Since I am going to be taking the backhoe off to reduce chance of backing into something.....I decided to add some ballast to my rear tires to replace some of the weight I'll be taking off.
After pricing it out a few ways, I went with the RimGuard / Beet Juice.
My local dealer sold to me for 2.47 gal + tax.
I was able to easily fit 10 gallons each in the rear tires.
Rear tires now weigh about 150# each. Yes they are a ba$tard to take on and off now
I did a short video up on how I added the beet juice as well as another video on updating from rubber to metal valve stems.
Thanks for checking them out.
