Ascertain the Correct Tire Pressure

IMPORTANT: Implements mounted on the three-point hitch exert considerable weight on the rear axle. Include this added weight when determining correct inflation pressures.

Weigh the tractor as described below in order to determine the correct tire pressure:

• Determine front axle weight with the implement on the three-point hitch lowered.
• Determine rear axle weight with the implement on the three-point hitch raised. NOTE: If tractor is equipped with a front-mounted implement, raise implement when determining front axle weight and lower implement when determining rear axle weight. If tractor is equipped with both a front- and rear-mounted implement, raise both implements.
  

Check tire pressure when the tire is cold, using an accurate pressure gauge scaled to 10 kPa (0.1 bar; 1 psi).

Set tire inflation pressures according to weight measured. Set tire pressure as recommended by the tire manufacturer for the tires selected. Maximum tire pressure is specified on tire sidewall.

On tractors with loaders, front tire pressure must be 30 kPa (0.3 bar; 4 psi) above the calculated value to compensate for the changed weight distribution.
