MX 6000 with R14s (tubeless). Over winter I want to add spacers as well as ballast and MultiSeal for liquid ballast tires (and regular MultiSeal in fronts).
My questions are:
1. Which ballast? I looked into Rimgard beet juice but there are no dealers anywhere around me that offer mobile service (I don't own a trailer). From the Rimgard charts, It looks like I need 57 gallons per wheel. Multiseal liquid says to make 10% of total ballast their product, so I would probably do 50 gallons of ballast and 5 gallons of Multiseal per wheel.
2. MultiSeal (as far as I can tell) is the only company that offers a tire sealant compatible with liquid ballast. We have a lot of multiflora rose and I can only image a puncture is bound to happen, since I plan to open up more food plots in the spring. I can order that and have it on hand once I find a company to come to our place to add the ballast.
3. Rear wheel spacers. The R14s were a marked improved over the R1s, stability wise, but I would like to widen the stance some. What max spacer size is OK for axle strength in the MX6000? I see 2, 2.5 and 3" for sale commonly. Of course I want to have them installed at the time (or before) the ballast goes in.
4. No one likes to overspend, but cost isn't the #1 issue here. It looks like about $300-400 for quality spacers. Not sure about ballast cost but MultiSeal is about $245 for the 5 gallon liquid compatible bucket with pump. For the fronts (air), Kubota also markets a sealant but I don't know if I should use it or the MultiSeal.
Anyone with first hand knowledge, please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks. This site has been very helpful...
