OK Top Cut 15.5x38 Firestone Field and Road /60% Tread in 4000 and 3500lb Classes. what would be good Starting Place for air pressure? I have seen Post where theory would be 2lbs per 1000 Tractor Weight. But have Heard with Top Cuts you should Run around 12-15Lbs Seams High. Any Thoughts? Thanks In advance.

Oak, your theory is only partially true. Adding two lbs. per 1000 lbs. is pretty close but that is AFTER your initial pressure setting. For the weight range you stated I would start at around 10 lbs. and play with it from there. Do not succumb to the "less is better" theory. If your sidewalls buckle, add air. Look at your ruts when you are done pulling to be sure your air pressure is correct. The tire itself will tell you where it wants to run. Hope this helps. Mike
