Overview

This is a DIY, hands-on walkthrough of ballasting rear tires with fluid on a TYM 2515H, using a homemade gravity-feed setup with a 35-gallon sprayer, garden hose, and valve-stem removal tool. It covers gallon calculations for 70% fill, jacking and supporting the tractor, removing valve cores, and mid-process troubleshooting like slow fill rates and air-pressure buildup. Best for owners planning to fluid-fill their own tires on a budget.

Posted by an owner documenting a real, in-progress DIY project on their own tractor, including mistakes and fixes along the way.
