My tractor mechanic guy said this was the stuff to get. It'll fix a 3/8" hole. Not plug the leak, or slow it, but FIX it.
I was discussing this with him because I was getting ready to have one of the tractor tire shops here install puncture sealant for tractor tires in all 4 of my big tractor for $600... 15 gallons total.
Just 3 gallons of TireJect is needed to treat all 4 tires.
Cost is about half the tire shop if I use the TireJect.
Never heard of it,but it would be worth the price if it works. I may have to give that stuff a try on some of our implements.

That's pretty interesting. I have a lot of thorn trees here, and am always getting flats from them. My biggest problem is my Polaris Ranger, as I use that thing almost every day, checking cows, fencing, and general farm use. I've been fighting a slow leak n one tire for a month. Finally put another bottle f Slime in it, and hope it'll stop it for a while. I bought a set of front tires for my biggest tractor a couple of years ago, because the old ones had been patched too many times. The first flat I had on the new ones, I took it to a local place ran by the Mennonites. They put a substance in the tire that has the look and consistency of a cross between grease and molasses. Supposedly, it will fix small punctures such as a nail or thorn. It may work for some thing, but it didn't work on one tire, and I had to put a tube in. I'm going to take a serious look at this stuff and will probably try some.
I have a Kubota RTV900 with a slow leaking rear tire that they can't seem to fix.

I put Slime in my 4-wheeler tires once-upon-a-time. It worked until the tires just rotted and I had to buy new ones, but it rusted the rims. I wonder if this stuff will rust the rims?

Randy, it says it won't.

Going on a week having this in my tractor fronts with no sign of the problem child getting flat.
That's great news, Barry! I'll be ordering some today.

When I bought my Polaris Ranger, I put Slime in all four tires. I cannot tell you how many flat's I've had, and have even had to buy another tire. I have 650 hours on mine, and it's run over some bad places, and I guess that's why I get so many. I just put more Slime in a front and a rear. On the flip side, my Honda Rancher that I bought back in 2001 is still on the original tires, and though it's been run a lot, has rarely ever had a flat. Has to be the quality of the tires.

First thing I do is to swap the factory tires on an ATV for 8 ply tires. Then fill 'em with slime.
My Honda Rancher had those 8 plys and a friend was riding with me on it one day and I was on another of mine and we had a flat on his. Inner sidewall... I think I put 5 plugs in it, more slime and aired it up. Still riding on it about 7 years later...
Barry, the stuff has been in the tires for a week+, so how is it doing? Is the problem tire holding up? Any good or bad issues (tire issues only, please ) you want to share with us?
IOW, we need a report.

I just thought y'all were tired of hearing....
Tractor tires still have the same air and no leaks. I'm impressed.
Beyond that, the front tires on my Bad Boy Z-Turn mower had to have both front tires aired up every time I got on it. I put about 4oz in each one and mowed..
That was over a week ago and they are both still rock hard.
I think I'll get another gallon of TireJect and do my ATV now and UTV as well.
The Brown Truck of Happiness just dropped off my gallon of it.
My Kubota RTV900, my riding lawn mower, and my pressure washer will all get done tomorrow.

"TireJect is designed to be used with tubeless tires only. Tubes are made from a very thin rubber and can commonly tear larger holes that are not repairable by any tire sealant. If the tire is natively tubeless we recommend removing the tube and then applying TireJect."

Thanks for keeping this updated. I've only had one issue with the baby Kubota and Slime has been working well in it. I'll go this route next time. Does anyone know the shelf life on this stuff? Wouldn't mind buying a gallon but it could sit for a while before I need it.

I don't think it has a shelf life in the container. But, after you put it in a tire, it has to be refreshed after 2 years. I think you add a small amount to what's already inside a tire to keep it from drying out.
Two weeks in my riding mower and Kubota RTV and not the first sign of losing pressure.
I'm a happy camper.
Thanks again for telling us about this stuff!
