What does a tire and wheel weigh that is loaded with fluid? This is a 16.9X28 tire and wheel from a D17. Trying to set up a plan to pick it up this weekend. |

| FULL fluid?? is about 500 to 600 lbs just for the fluid in one tire. I'd expect the tire/wheel and center to be maybe 400 lbs?? make a diff on what brand of tire and how worn out it is. |

| I have no idea how full - just found a tire with a decent rim and the owner says it has fluid in it. |

Leave the tractor out on a cold night. You'll see exactly how much on a frosty morning. |

| I hauled two "loaded" 16.9 X 28 D-17 wheels in the back of my '93 short bed D-1500 Dodge. Definitely more than a half ton but not the biggest load I've hauled with that truck. |

| I was curious if my son (age 14) and I could throw it on the back of the pickup - 900 to a 1000 pounds is probably a little more than I feel like trying to manhandle at this stage of my life. |

| I would try to get some sort of lift. If anything goes wrong someone will get seriously hurt trying to roll that much weight up a ramp. |

I would not recommend attempting to load it without a lift or loader of some type! If it gets away from you, it could result in serious damage, bodily or otherwise.

| You might be able to roll the tire to the back of the truck tip it against the tailgate then use a come along to winch it up into the truck. That would be pretty safe. |

| back your truck in the ditch will sure help a lot ' it mite just flip on the tail gate' it will be close to the ground that way' |

According to the Good Year tire book, if the tire is filled to the top of the rim, the fluid alone weighs 747# for a 16.9-28. Add 100# for the rim and wheel center, and you have about 850# max. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

| you need a tractor with a loader, skid loader, etc and chain. set it down gently in the truck. If you roll them in and let them flop against the side they can put a big dent in the side of the pickup box. Seen it happen several times when guys brought them to us to fix. |

I would not put that kind of weight on my pick up tail gate. Would remove the tail gate use some 8 foot 2x6, 8 10's as a ramp. hook a come along to the front of the bed some how maybe hard wood stakes in the pockets and ratchet it up on its side while pushing from behind. That is lacking a lift of some sort.  Al
