I'm buying a New Holland TC 30, 9x3 trans, 4WD, 7308 FEL with HD 60" bucket. The dealer is installing liquid ballast in the rear (R4) tires using a blend of water and methanol. I don't know if these tires are tubeless. Here in New Mexico we do indeed need the freeze protection. Is this mixture corrosive to the rims if the tires are tubeless. And if so, can I add some automotive antifreeze as a rust inhibitor? Are the methanol and antifreeze compatible to mix? Any thoughts, experience, and advice would be appreciated.

Matt,

The operator's manuals for the 1310 and 770A loader came with the tractor when I bought it from the original owner. When I first discussed a trade in with the dealer I was quoted a retail price of around $6,000 for the unit plus about $2,000 added for the FEL. This was sight unseen. Since that visit, the dealer used another "book" to establish value and here is where the $5,900 complete price was offered. I figured they'd offer it for perhaps $7,500 and accept $7,200. I just listed it here (Albuquerque, NM) for $6,800.
