Correct rear tire pressure?

Ted1 · May 10, 2020

L2501 11.2 x 24 on 10 inch rims Titans. They have beet juice ballast in them. The left rear tire seems to have a little bit more of a buldge than right rear. Tractor does have a backhoe on the back. I cant see on the tire what recommended pressure should be. Anyone know the recommended pressure. Thank you in advance. Forgot to mention they are r1 ag tires.

If you have manual for your tractor check that. Also check Titan's web site. Sorry I have no idea and for my use on ag tires (mine are filled) I judge by the bulging or as I call it the bagging.

You need a gage made for this as a regular gage will gum up.

What type of gauge ? Makes sense but never had this issue. Any idea of the name of gauge type?

Have the valve stem at the 12:00 position, and push the shrader valve with it tip of a phillips screw driver and let a spritz of air out. That will clear the way for air only and you can use your regular tire gauge.

In the owners manual for that size tire it says 100 kPa : 14 psi. Does that seem right?

The correct pressure will be the pressure that lets the bars of the tire touch the ground when it is setting level. It will be a low pressure and the tire's pressure should be equal in both tires. This will give you maximum traction and improve the ride. According to the book below it should be 14psi or less.
