Well after reading both your post I would say.......

Tires should be run at recommended pressure at all times. To high or to low is bad on tires and wear patterns. It is just more important to have proper pressure in tires with a load on because they will heat up and blow out easier under load. Letting some air out while empty would be OK to improve ride just remember to refill before loading trailer. But never over inflate as it will cause tire to run on only the center of thread.

Now about springs.......
Is it OK to transport a tractor on a non suspension trailer? That depends if you are talking about the tractor or your back. While I would not want to use it every day the tractor will be fine. It will feel every bump and over time things would work loose so make sure your tie downs are secure. Your back will also feel every bump as the trailer pushes and tugs at the truck with every bump. Running empty will be worse. Like pulling a basket ball on a rope. But for one trip you can handle it so go for it.

AIR RIDE RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
