Previous tractor was a NH compact with R1s. Kept the psi more or less at the middle of the recommended psi range. The BX manual note just a single psi. Do you BX owners just set it at the manual spec and adjust for the changing seasonal temperatures?

To be honest, I probably haven't checked rear tire pressures for a year (or two). :unsure:

I regularly take note of the rear tires' "squat", but little else.

Mine are loaded with RimGuard. Softer they are, the better they ride.

I do pay more attention to the fronts if doing loader work.

I'll pump them up to max on occasion for loader work. Honestly, don't tend to take air out after....

Look at MAX on tires and then place enough to have a "bounce" but NOT at max pressure....... unless you are carrying a hellva load.

Most of the time - the fronts should be around 12 to 15 ish ........... rears about 16 ish.

Now - you plan on doing a lot of FEL work? Bump up the fronts a bit.

Need to break out the readers or safety glasses with built in readers and check the sidewalls of the tires for psi range.
One should have been obvious thing I noticed is the BX seems to ride harder than the old NH. Front wheels hit a "bump" and you really notice it more. Makes sense. The front wheels of the compact NH were similar in size to the rear of the BX. Probably keep the psi bias towards the high end of the range. Assuming better for the tires, but less so for me. New seat is nice and soft.
