Select Tire Inflation Pressure

LX299189-UN-16NOV16

Tire inflation pressure plays a vital role in determining vehicle behavior, tractive force and fuel consumption.

Since the correct tire pressure is dependent on many different factors, it is not possible to make a general recommendation.

When selecting inflation pressure, take the following into account:

• Tire manufacturer
• Tire size
• Axle load of machine
• Ballast on machine
• Whether tire is used on a front or rear wheel
• Nature of the work to be done
• Soil conditions
• Expected travel speed

To ascertain the pressure for specific applications, refer to the inflation pressure tables provided by the tire manufacturers. Many tire manufacturers provide apps on their Internet portals which allow the recommended tire pressure to be calculated.

Any tire inflation quoted in this Operator's Manual is binding.

Tires must never be inflated to a pressure higher than the maximum value stated on the tire.

Use a tire pressure of 2 bar (29 psi) if no other pressure value is available.

Particular attention must be paid to inflation pressures for row-crop tires, special tires and tires with liquid ballast. If in doubt, obtain the correct inflation pressure from the tire manufacturer.
