I always like to put the tractor on a hard surface and let some air out untill the almost the whole lug will be making contact with the floor. The less you have the better the ride,traction and if you use it on the road much this will make the back part of the lug to rear down and will actaully sharpen your tires. Tractor pullers go this all the time,buy loading alot of weight on and letting alot of air out. I have also heard of them making the tractor sit and one place and spin for a while. That gets them nice and sharp!!

Pressure is pressure. Even if loaded, there is still air to compact under pressure....just got a little more weight so tire settles a little more at a given pressure.

I use as little as possible as I like a soft ride. I easily run 8-10# in all my tractors to 100 hp. Don't care if I get a little flattening of the tire under a heavy load like lifting a 2000# round bale of hay. Time you (I) get to 18 it is intolerable. Also, I found on the big tractor with weights and cab and all that less air keeps the tractor from bouncing (rythmetic)...youn youn youn youn going down the road....when in road gear. Rides much more even....and smoother.

That reminds me of a time back in the '50's when I worked at a gas station. This old woman would come in and demand her car be jacked up before checking tire pressure. Anyway, I run 8psi for fluid filled rears, and 12psi for unfilled rears. 30psi for fronts though, it makes steering in soft ground much easier.

Cute. Wonder where she got that idea?

Was in a filling station one day and a guy in the grease rack stall had a Lincoln up on the rack and was washing the underside of the thing....doing a misserable jub I might ad.

Had to ask hin (the attendant) what he was doing. Seems the gent passed on and the widow wanted to keep the car like he did and he had the underside washed and she was too. Never in my life saw that before..... ..now if you had a 4 wheeler and had just finished "muddin" I can see it, but this thing was an urban dweller....probably never ran off a hard surfaced road in it's life.

Now I agree, the fronts get the air; especially on the non-power steering units.
