Dk50se r4 rear tire pressure

[blucoondawg]

I have a dk50se with the Titan r4 tires, my rears don't seem to have a max or recommended tire pressure listed. Anyone with the dk40,45,50se series tractor know the where the rears should be for pressure

Max tire pressure is usually too hard. Ideal pressure to me is where I get slight sidewalk flex and a good full contact patch under load. That condition will give you the better traction and ride, and be easier on bearings than max pressure. Exact target pressure will probably take a little experimentation with whatever implements and jobs you do. My rears have stayed where I set them for a few years, but my fronts I’ll adjust upwards near max for loader work and then air them down again when the loader comes off.

This might help R4 would be industrial

I'll be damned, thanks, I didn't even think to check the manual for tire pressure ratings.

Just a note per that page those are the max not to exceed pressures,
your needed operating pressure could be considerably less.

I settled on 14 psi in my DK5010's 14.9 x 24 R4s to get a good contact patch. They are loaded with plumbing antifreeze and I normally have my 1300lb counterweight attached.
