Driving Safety & Sustainability: Good Works and Rim Guard Join Forces

In the heartland of mechanized farming, tractors are the unsung heroes. Compact and sub-compact tractor seller Good Works, with its commitment to excellence and a vision for sustainable farming, has partnered with Rim Guard, the pioneering creator of the only all-natural, non-toxic liquid tire ballast derived from the byproduct of sugar beet production.

‍

Good Works, a formidable player in the tractor industry, has roots deeply embedded in the passion and expertise of its founder, Courtney Scott.

‍

Growing up working with tractors from the 1940s and 1950s, Scott developed a profound understanding of these machines from an early age. However, it was his transition to modern tractors that sparked a transformative realization about the critical role of safety features, particularly properly ballasted tires.

‍

Reflecting on the potential dangers of improperly weighted tractors, Scott emphasized, "It could literally be a life or death situation."

Sticking with a Safety-First Approach

Motivated by a commitment to ensuring the well-being of fellow tractor owners, Scott began selling tractors and compact tractors as a hobby, eventually cultivating it into Good Works, the thriving business it is today. With a deep-seated belief in providing comprehensive resources for tractor owners, Scott says,

"I look to provide a complete resource, everything a tractor owner would need, including services and information on how to use and set up equipment." Positioned as a vocal advocate for knowledge and safety in the industry, he adds, "If I'm going to be a voice of reason in the industry, then I should start with the highest priority: safety."

Rim Guard Enters the Scene

Scott was first introduced to Rim Guard through his relationship with Summit Tractors. Already a proponent of liquid tire ballast due to the ease of obtaining a solid counterweight foundation without the hassle of constant removal and a lower center of gravity for enhanced stability, he was quickly convinced of Rim Guard’s superior application in all climates.

‍

In regions beyond the South, where water is traditionally used for ballasting, Scott underscores the critical factor of freezing temperatures. He notes, "Most of the country is going to be in areas with freezing temperatures." Contrasting this with Rim Guard's non-freezing quality, he states,  

‍

"Rim Guard is not going to freeze, it’s not going to corrode [like calcium chloride]...it’s just a very stable product….it checks so many boxes."

‍

Scott further underscores the economic advantage, emphasizing, "Not to mention it’s going to be heavier than water, so you’re going to get more bang for your buck."

Conclusion

In conclusion, the partnership between Good Works and Rim Guard stands as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration in the agricultural industry. Scott says, "The feedback has been great," encapsulating the positive reception that this alliance has garnered within the farming community. The integration of Rim Guard Beet Juice Tire Ballast into Good Works' offerings not only provides tractor owners with a cost-effective solution for achieving optimal weight distribution, but also addresses crucial safety concerns.  

‍

For all of these reasons and more, "I'd recommend it to every tractor owner,” says Scott.
