It’s a relatively small tire. Remove it from the tractor and lay it on its side. Break the bead off and use a rim sealer that you can buy. And re-inflate The tire. If you work carefully you can do this without unloading the tire. If you are uncomfortable with that idea unload the tire use the Bead sealer. Remount the tire to the tractor‘s and then reload the tire. As far as I know there’s no magical shortcuts. if you’re not inclined to that kind of work take the tire off the tractor and take it to a Tire dealer it’s not that big of a deal.
Once the beet juicie gets between the bead and the rim you will have trouble indefinitely until it is thoroughly cleaned, which is a time consuming job.
This is yet another reason why I never use liquid ballast.
Ok thanks. I don’t have time to do this right now, tire is in the truck, and it’s going to the tire shop tomorrow.
