Checking filled tires pressure

[oldnslo]

Yes filled tires generally ride a little rougher but I have never seen where adding fluid changes the air pressure setting vs running unloaded tires.

I run the run tires on my 2400H at 10 - 12 PSI and they are filled with rim guard. I do not recall what factory spec is. This is my choice and if 18 PSI works for you that is your choice.

Tires should be inflated using the tire load charts for your anticipated loading.
Rear R1 tire pressure will normally run from 10-25 psi.
Here is a clip from Goodyear Titan for a 16.9-28 bias ply tire, with road speeds and loading. Also these are per tire so double that per axle.

Most manufactures will have these charts for your tires.
Also filled or not the pressures are the same.

The left rear on the Hurlimann was way low this spring. When I put the air chuck on the valve with the stem positioned at the top, chloride came out. I knew where the leak was (at the stem) and filled the tire until it "looked right.

Close enough, and no air gauges got messed up.

If the tires are low and sides bulging I add some air until they "stand up."
I've never used a gauge.
You can tell if you got it right by the tread pattern the tires leave in the field.
Just remember not to over do it.
I've been on tractors for close to 60 years. Before that on my daddies lap just steering tractors.
Neighbor had a flat few years back. Guy came from the tire shop fixed the problem, filled and inflated the tire.
He got so busy talking on his cell he blew the tire off the rim. Calcium everywhere.

What is a "special gauge" for filled tires? Link? Name?

Do a search for gauge for filled tires. The ones I have are spring loaded plunger style so must take reading with gauge on valve stem.

Others have a gauge with a piece of hose between gauge and chuck. This keeps the fluid from getting to the gauge.

I did and did not find any "special gauge" and the "gauge with a piece of hose between gauge and chuck" did not work for me. It got filled with the bit juice and plugged the gauge without showing the correct results.

Milton model S-298 is designed for use on fluid filled tires. You do need to rinse it out with warm water after use or beat juice will set up and make it sticky.

I had a special gauge and it was messed up after a couple of uses. I ended up overfilling the tire and had to let air out which made a huge mess.
