Frozen tires

[Texasmark]

My L3700 SU has R4s and the rears are filled with what I think is beet juice.. Not really sure, The dealer did it when I bought the tractor new in 2011 ish. Anyway.. When It gets cold, The rears get flat spots in them when it sits outside. The first 10 or 15 minutes I can feel them as i use the machine.. It goes away with use.. But besides putting the tractor in a heated garage.. is there a way to remedy this .. ? more air ? Or is it just a matter of the rubber on the tire hardening in the cold and it is what it is ?

The answer to Cotton tire cord was Rayon, answer to that was Nylon, answer to that was Polyester and belts...or something like that. When Nylon was the fad, automobile tires would flat spot over night and you had that problem every morning going to work or school. Some of my OEM tractor tires from the 1990's and earlier are Nylon cord and have that problem.

Totally normal, and unrelated to being filled. If my tractor sits for a week or so it's got a little hop in it for a little while.

So how fast is your tractor that you can feel wheel hop.

If I do a burn out first, the heat smoothes out the hop.

You gotta remember to park against a tree.
