Will fluid in tractor tire prevent rubber cement plug?

Just pulled a nail out of tire.
Plug it anyway?
Will rubber cement still hold?

Damn, she's a squirter.
I'd be tempted to roll it so that the hole is pointing down, jack up that corner, and have a compressor constantly filling it up until the water is just trickling. Then roll it so the hole is 90° to the ground and wait a little while to plug it.
ETA: How the hell did that water get in there?

Pretty sure the dealership put the fluid in the tire for weight.

Should, plug it and see , if it don’t hold you will know quickly

Update
I plugged it and no fluid leaked out.
I did decide to park the tractor tire with the plug on the topside so it might dry.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but water in tractor tires has been a thing since the 70's for sure, and probably a lot longer. This post was edited on 9/18/24 at 4:24 pm

Rolled a bead off last week and had to pay $47/gal in DeereDetect to refill it. Nice to know when there's a leak but I really wonder if just plain 'ol water would do the same thing.

So how do you refill it?

Barely any water was lost.
I plugged it and filled with air up to spec.

Damn, that's interesting. However, I can't image that whatever the volume of the tire at only 8 or so pounds per gallon would be more beneficial than more steel added to the frame.
Glad it worked out.

I’ve seen them put calcium chloride and water in dirt pan tractors for added ballast.
Straight water in the winter time will freeze.
We’d water the inside tires but not the duals since we had to handle them bitches. That’s back when shite was not so big though. A 20.8-38 was a man size tractor tire, dads shite had 18.4-38’s.

Old farmers trick to add weight - was very common 50 years ago, but not sure about how common it is now.
