jpl, You can remove the fluid from your tires yourself if you hane either a pump, or a hose that you can fit onto the valve stem and allow the fluid to syphon out. YOu simply start with the valve stem on the top of the tire, hook up a hose that will allow the fluid to run out without leaking, then roll the tractor forward until the valve stem is on the bottom. the fluid will syphon out as long as the hose end is below the valve stem. As far as disposal of calcium chloride, if you have a gravel road or driveway, you can spray it on either and it acts as a dust inhibitor. County road departments apply calcium chloride to gravel roads all the time for this purpose. Yes, it will kill grass, but if you apply it carefully, you shouldnt have a problem. Some people deride the use of calcium chloride because of its corrosive nature, however, it is no more corrosive, than highway salt. you may want to check with your county or township, but most do not prohibit its use for dust control.

Paul, Well stated, up in East Wells,Vt they spray it on our roads to keep the dust down, and the roadway gets like concrete during the warmer months. If I did have some i would probablly spray my driveway with it!

What I do is remove the stem and let it flow out in the driveway. It is just salt. Basically the same thing put on the roads in the winter. It will not hurt anything except grass and weeds. The deer also like to come and lick it up.

I then air the tires back up and stick a small diameter copper tube down isside to get all the water out down below the bead. I then bought a calcium fill kit from TSC ($4.75) and hook it to the garden hose and fill with straight water a few times to dilute the remaining salt. This works for me until I actually change tubes out.

Like the other guys said, a farm tire dealer can pump it out- and they would get more of it out than you can by just draining it because they actually suck it out.
Where are you located? I bought a tractor from southern CA that had WATER in the tires- I know because it froze solid in our WI winter. It rode a little rough..... .

In the deep South, calcium chloride is unknown. Plain water or water with a little antifreeze is all that's available. Most tire dealers and tractor dealers down here have never heard of calcium chloride. I tried to get some a few years ago and nobody could supply it.

Most never heard of it in the Mississippi Delta either. Water is what was always used, sometime with a little antifreze, but usually just plain water.

Depends, sometimes when I have bought new tires from a tire dealer he would pump it out and even give me a small credit on my bill for it. I�m not sure how much of a demand there is for it in your area, but having a tire service place pump it is the best way to get rid of it. Keep in mind that Calcium Chloride is a salt and the water will evaporate off leaving the salt behind so dumping it on the ground is not a good idea�

In this area tire dealers are generally charging for pumping it out and charge again for putting it in. Calcium chloride is rapidly becoming a relic. If absolutely necesary to keep it on the farm, I would sprinkle it on the lane/drive where nothing grows anyway.

You could have your local farm tire deal come pump it out. They will use it for their next service call.

Call a TIRE shop that services tractor tires. Your IH dealer won't do anything for you.
