What rear tire pressure for a farmall m? It does not have fluid in the tires. It is not printed anywhere on the tires!
 
With no wheel weights, and for good traction, 12 to 14 PSI is reasonable. Smaller tires, like 13.XX can use the higher # bigger to 15.XX can use the lower #. Radial tires will be bulging at the bottom like on a car. Bias ply not so much. Jim
 
Some place between 12 and 16 PSI , on my S/MTA i will run mine depending on what i am doing between 13- 18 psi . The higher pressure was used while tractor pulling the heavier classes to prevent bar buckling and loss of draw bar height , For field work with four sets of Donuts on the rear wheels 15 is a good pressure .
 
What is printed on the side of the tire is usually the maximum recommended operating pressure, always go by the equipment/vehicle recommendations, and specific conditions.
 
Depends on what your using it for. If I want traction I air them up just far enough that the lugs are still on the group. If it's a parade tractor or getting roaded alot I would put a little more.
