My Dealer Says Fluid in Tractor Tires Ruins Wheel Bearings...Is That Right?

A Q&A-format response to a viewer question about whether tire fluid damages wheel bearings, and whether a dealer pushing wheel weights has a profit motive. Mike gives a direct verdict (fluid is fine in normal use), explains the one scenario where overloading bearings does happen, and walks through fluid options including calcium chloride, antifreeze solutions, and beet juice. Best for anyone weighing tire ballast vs. wheel weights.
