I have a MF175 tractor with a MF32 loader. When I have a full bucket of material the front tires squash down about 1/2 to 2/3 way to the rim, and you can see where the sidewall is running on the ground. The tires are 6 ply, ribbed, I can't find a recommended tire pressure on the tire, but it does say "do not to exceed 35 psi when setting the bead". Is there a "better" tire to use with the loader, or am I running them too soft at 35 psi?

Neither the loader or tractor show any signs of working hard with a full bucket, just the front tires.

Unfortunately, as previously stated, there is no max inflation pressure listed on the tire, there isn't even a brand name. The tires are 6.50 x 16, F-2's. So I looked at all the tire manufacturer websites, seems this is a pretty standard tire, rated at 1230 pounds at 48 psi. I inflated them, and was able to use the loader without the tires getting squashed.

May be considered a stupid question, but what type of tires do you have on the front? Some run implement tires on their loader tractor, our 165 just has 7.50-15 tri-ribs on and they do just fine.

35 PSI is too low, run atleast 40. Maybe more. I think our 165 has 40, might be 50.

My local tractor tyre bloke reckons 40 psi in the front - makes steering a bit lighter.

I run 60psi in the front tires of a MF40 loader tractor. Check tire sidewall for max inflation pressure.
