Tire Pressure
Generally, 26-32 PSI is required to hold the
stalks and prevent them from slipping. In
softer soil and with shorter cotton, less
pressure is required than in harder soil and
with taller cotton.
As a starting point, inflate tire pressure to 26
PSI. Increase tire pressure as needed until
the machine is pulling stalks.
NOTE! Do NOT exceed 32 PSI for the
tires. If 32 PSI is not enough air pressure
for pulling stalks, you will need to wait until
soil conditions change (e.g., it rains and
the soil softens).
While you may need to wait for the soil to
soften, wet stalks are more difficult for the
machine to remove. Early morning dew,
rain, or other wet conditions can cause the
stalks to slip in the tires and we
recommend that you not try to pull and
chop stalks while they are wet.
Operating with a lower tire pressure will
make the machine easier to pull through
the field. We recommend operating at the
lowest tire pressure needed to do the job.
