In Reply to: air pressure in tires posted by bumblebee on June 26, 2018 at 09:36:40:
I value my back more than my tires and as a result I have the softest seat I can find (and I have a pile of attempts in the corner that didn't fill the bill) and run the tires as soft as the application will allow. On my lawn mowers I run in the 5-10# area and I run 8" rims on 20-23" diameter rear tires for max balloon for max shock absorption. You'd be amazed at the difference in ride comfort when you trash the 12" wheeled, stiff sidewall tires that are OEM on most mowers for a soft sidewall, 8" wheel. Tractor fronts 20-25# as I usually turn without brake assist and need some sidewall stability, rears usually 13-18 depending on whether I am moving hay or not...on that if I use the FEL for moving large round bales, the pressures go up just enough to satisfy the requirement.
A problem on new tractors or new rims with new tires is tire slip under traction with light pressures. On one tractor I have had to increase the amount until the tire would quit slipping on the rim. Belt dressing between the tire bead and wheel helped a lot but still needed a bit more air.

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
