Benefits of Filling Water in the Tyres and its Method :
The probability of tires to slip increases when the tractor is light and is operating on hard
ground. It reduces the performance, which cause increases diesel consumption.
Experiments show that proper tire grip on the surface, tractor performance increases by
10 to 25 percent.
To increase the surface grip in the rear tires, filling water in the tires is recommended.
Below is the method to fill water in the tires with a simple instrument.
Water Can Be Filled In the Tyre Using the Instrument :
1- Raise the rear tires with the help of the jack, and raise the inflation valve to its highest
position.
2- Remove the inflation valve from the tube’s nozzle and let the entire air out.
3- Now mount the water filling nut on the tube’s nozzle.
4-Connect the water filling tube to the tank as shown in the diagram. The water tank should
be at least 5 feet above the instrument. Open the tank’s valve so water could flow in the
tire’s tube.
5- Close the tank’s valve when the water starts to flow out the air pipe.
6- Detach the water filling instrument from the tire-tube and let the extra water flow out of it.
7- After the extra water is drained, place the inflation valve on the tube’s nozzle.
