  • Subject: [NAFEX] wheelbarrow tire is flat. fill with concrete?
  • Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 17:32:35 EDT

My wheelbarrow tire size 3.00 - 8 has gone flat. I replaced the inner tube, unsuccessfully. 
I didn't enjoy replacing it, and it was still flat.
I have heard of farmers filling their tractor tires with concrete.
Of course for tractors that is a bad idea, as it adds great weight and
increases soil compaction.  But how much weight could this add to my little wheelbarrow?  Is it as simple as mixing the concrete and putting it in the tire and putting it on the rim?  I know there are 'no-flat' tires sold but I couldn't find one in 3.00 - 8 and anyway they can $40 or more, too much.
