John Deere tire sealant

Will John Deere tire sealant seal a leaky tube

Probably not usually tire sealant only works on tubeless mounted tires.

Nothing I would try. Fastest , easiest to replace or patch tube.

There is a slime type that says right on it tire and tube and it works in either

Not on a rear tire because of the volume,on the front I had Slime in the tubes because of the thorns,I never had a flat after the Slime.

i can imagine the tire repair man saying some choice words , plus want to charge more for the job when the time comes to remove that tube. maybe he has a sawzall and will just cut the tire open.

Slime will fix any size tire, tube or tubeless if you put enough in. Loggers use it in big skidder tires, and I buy bicycle tubes that already have it in. It causes problems in high speed car tires, they don't stay balanced, not a problem on my bicycle!

The tire men here wont patch a tube anymore here . If its flat its a new tube

So what is John Deere tire sealant?

is it different from Slime? Never used it, but just guessing it's probably the same thing just repackaged and the price adjusted.

Slime will work in either tube or tubeless tires. Probably has a better chance in tubeless.

If there is a puncture through the tube and the nail/thorn is still in there working around it's probably going to eventually tear the hole too big for sealer to work. But it might delay the repair for a while.

Well its actually cheaper than slime so I guess they adjusted the price

I dont think its worth trying ive never had much luck with sealant in a tube just thought maybe someone had tried it .

I've had good luck with it many times over the years. Be it car or tractor or like the one I put on today a wheel barrow tire

Slime is liquid rust.

down here in the mesquite thorn country.. yes and no..

usually will work if enough is installed... and the tractor is used regularly... so that the slime is moved around the tire often.

Exceptions... will not work on a rip where tire flexes. And driving any tire low on air will rip the tube.. so DONT do it.


does allow the tire to go flat if you park it for a long time and the hole/s is on top... as the slime will dry up a bit and allow it to leak. We are talking lots and lots of thorns... SO... use the tractor at least once a week, OR... ALWAYS park it next to the air hose, so that you can air it up and quickly drive it around a bit to reseal all the holes. Sllime will need to be replaced or added too every couple of years or so, but still beats having several flats a day. Will even work on rear tires full of water but you will need at least two gallons or more of slime.

Some of kawasaki mules have so many thousands of thorns in them,, that the tire eventually splits and leaks all the slime out. This means either a tube if your lucky, or usually a new tire.

Using the aircraft tires on the front of the tractors with slime has allowed us to continue to work the tractors with minimal down time. These 28ply tires are used on the hay equipment as well.

farm rules... NEVER leave tractor in the field, you MUST park it next to the air hose, or YOU get to fix it when you come back and its flat.... even for lunch breaks.. And insult is.. the baler tire goes flat, pops the bead and you have to disassemble half the baler to remove the tire. Lesson quickly learned.

Slime is not perfect but stops 90% of the flats.
