Putting it on a hedgecutter and I think ballast will be needed.
I'm mid wales and I'm working to a budget. Just thought there may be some gathering dust?

Is this a common thing? Curious how it would drain completely?
when you have let all the water out , re inflate a few times while putting a small pipe down through the removed valve core to the bottom of the tyre so as only water come out, but in reality just let out what you can and the rest can stay till next time, we put wheel weights on a 115 but the tractor was numb to drive carrying that weight around all the time.

Or mix water with a 25 litre can of anti freeze and leave it in there as that's what I done several years ago and worked well

We do our hedges with a TS135 and Bomford Hawk 5.4, basically the same tractor, no problems at all without any weights on. It's on 600s on the back which probably helps

As fieldfarmer says, you could with those valves connect the airline regulated at the compressor to say 15psi , and let it drain the remaining water out unattended. The first night or two of frost is not going to freeze that volume of water. Park the tractor in the shed at night. But those valves make it so easy to fill and empty.
