I have turf tires. The max psi says 38 lbs. They are measuring at 18-20 from the dealer right now. I noticed while hauling firewood in my loader the tires were squashed alittle. I was surprised so I checked them. I figured coming from the dealer new a week ago tire pressure would be closer to max. What do you guys recommend? I will be using the loader a lot in the next couple weeks. Do I change tire pressure for grass cutting? Thanks

Max your tires per your load.....

However - that high PSI will be very unforgiving when you hit a divot or bump!

I find a little "squashed" tire is better than having my teeth rattled!;)

Just like with your car or truck, max pressure is for max load. When you filling the loader add some air to the tires. I run 28’ish when doing gravel work, due to weight. When snow blowing I’m at 20. Make sure you have the valve stem on top when checking if your tires are loaded, or it will get a little messy.
