[4] TIRE LIQUID INJECTION
Auxiliary weights can be used to increase traction force for plowing in fields or clayey ground.Another way is to
inject water or another liquid, such as a calcium chloride solution in the tires. Water must not be used in winter since
it freezes at 0 °C (32 °F). The calcium chloride solution will not freeze and moreover, affords higher effect than water
since its specific gravity is higher than that of water by about 20 %. Below is an explanation of calcium chloride
solution injection.
• Do not fill the front tires with liquid.
