Air Pressure

[fried1765]

I have exceptionally odd R3 floatation tires on my L and with them 75% filled the valve stem would be under the fluid level.
So yes it's possible to fill them properly yet still always have wet valve stems!
I would have to take out a loan to fill them too!

Those certainly are FAT looking tires!

Now that's I'm a tire presser expert
Especially with loaded tires. Questions welcomed !!!
My left rear read 0 lbs on the gauge.
Right rear read 6 lbs.
The gauge is spring loaded so you need to hold it in place to get the presser.
Tire says 'inflation over 35 psi will blow your head off".
So added 30 psi.
Basically I was running on one flat tire and one almost flat.
My advice check your tires more then once every ten years.

I am waiting for some bored member here to add TPMS to their tractor.

If it were me I would check the gage for accuracy. Hard to believe you could have 0 PSI in a tire, loaded of not, and not see a significant difference between the two tires. Even if the tire was 100 percent full of liquid, there should still be some pressure due to the weight of the tractor pushing down on the tire...

30 PSI sounds like a lot. I run about 12 PSI in my rear tires. Front tires are 0 PSI so it is possible. They are foam filled...

Most TPMS start at about 90-100kPa ( 14PSI) so not usable on tractors,ATVs or other low tire pressure rides.

Darn...there goes my weekend project!
