Adding Liquid Weight
Tractor tire can be 80% filled with liquid as follows,
1. Raise the wheel. Rotate the tire until the valve, stem is
at 1’O Clock position.
2. Remove the valve core housing and screw on the
adapter.
3. Force liquid into the tire from a tank placed at least five
feet higher than the tractor tire, or by using a
compressor and pressure tank filled with water.
4. When the liquid has reached the required level, remove
the adapter, screw in the valve core and inflate to the
recommended pressure.
Where ambient temperatures are likely to fall below
freezing point use calcium chloride solution, methanol for
antifreeze.
The instructions and recommendation shown below should
be followed in order to secure maximum life and efficient
service from pneumatic tires.
Inflation
Keep tires properly inflated to the pressure as shown in the
Chart below. Under inflation will damage tire cord and may
cause the tire to slip on the rim and tear out the tube valve
stem. Over inflation results in excessive slippage, causing
rapid tire wear. Air pressure should be checked once a week
with an accurate low pressure gauge having one pound
graduations. Air pressure should not be allowed to drop or
exceed the recommendations.
Always see that the tire valve caps are in place and screwed
tight. The caps prevent loss of air through the valve core.
Further, they prevent debris from entering and damaging
the valve core and air chamber in the tires.
Exceptions (Rear Tires only)
When plowing with a moulded plow, the left hand or land
wheel should be inflated to 2 p.s.i. lesser than right hand
or furrow wheel.
