We had fluid put in the rear tires on our 2590 Case. We have 20.8x38 radial tubeless tires on it. In order to put tubes in the tires we would have had to take the duals off and dismount the tires. The duals are on hubs, but have heavy cast centers. Removing and replacing the duals would have taken the 2 of us at least a day. Plus the added labor of dismounting and remounting the inside tires, plus cost of tubes. Needless to say there are no tubes and they are full of chloride. Tire man brought up an interesting point when we complained of the worry of rusting out rims with chloride in direct contact: IN ORDER FOR RUSTING TO OCCUR YOU NEED OXYGEN. There is very little oxygen in a tire, and the rusting that will occur with that slight amount of oxygen will not amount to anything. Remember rust is iron oxide - iron combined with oxygen. No oxygen=no rust. Fill your tubeless tires with chloride and sleep well. I do not know the difference between tube and tubeless tires, but I can recommend to go with long bar/long bar radials as they will have excellent traction and wear. Steven

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
