DIY - MY TYM 5520c TRACTOR TIRE BALLAST -Adding Water to Rear Tires the Easy Way

Maintenance45–55 hpTYM 5520C

Overview

A TYM 5520C owner walks through how he water-ballasted his rear tires himself, covering the Amazon valve stem adapter, a Y-connector for bleeding air, and a practical timing method to measure how long it takes to fill 61 gallons without a flow meter. Note: part of the actual fill was lost to camera overheating, so some steps are simulated rather than filmed live. Best for compact-tractor owners considering DIY tire ballasting on a budget.

An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from his own property, with no commercial or dealership affiliation evident.
