Tire Pressure

What pressure should I set 12.4 x 38 non-radial tires at?

About 12 PSI should be good for a unloaded tractor. If you load it down with a lot of equipment and wheel weights, go up to 16 PSI.

Depends on how you have it weighted and how it will be used. Non tractor pulling I carry in the range of 15 to 18 on a tractor weighing around 4500 pounds working in the field. The same tractor pulling a transfer sled I run 10 to 12 pounds and some times a little less. I watch the tire to see how it stand under load. I want to see the side wall push out some under a hard pull. Less or more according to the soil conditions.

get it on hard top.. air up till the tires are just flat across the tread.. too much air and the tires will be "v" shaped and you want them to run flat where all the tread is on the ground.. this air pressure is dependant on the weight of tractor, width of tires, so it is different for all tractors. radial will bulge more than bias...heavy weight tractors will run higher.

I run 16 in the summer. It will drop a few pounds in the winter down to 14 typically.

A lot has to do what what your doing. Common pressure is 10-15psi less for better traction more for less traction but more weight carrying
