loaded tire problem

[lwalsh]

Is it just bad luck or what? 3rd new tractor, 3 different dealers. My new 2720 has one tire loaded 5 in below the top of the rim. The other is just over half full. Very similar situation with the other two tractors. Doesn't seem that difficult to roll the tire to check fluid level.

The question is about your luck?

Just wondered if this is common. Aparantly it must be a difficult job.

Some people have a terrible time with math and others just simply don't give a rat's ***.

So maybe if you connected a tire pressure equalizer hose between the two tires just before bed time your luck would change over night and you would have equal pressure and liquid in the tires by morning. May not be quite the correct amount but they would be equal.

5" below one rim and the other tire half full? Not sure how you measured this, but 5" below one rim may not be far off from the tire being half full (of course, I don't know what tires you have, or the size).

I never knew for sure how much fluid I had in my tires until I noticed a heavy condensation line the other morning. They are not quite at the same level but are definitely above the tops of the rims. Either I've got too much or I think the dealer owes you some more fluid.

Your tires look right to me.

Well I guess everyone has an opinion, but in mine,, one tire for sure has too much. Rotate the tire until the valve stem is at 12 o'clock, then take out valve stem, let fluid out until air starts coming out, put stem back in. check air pressure, in the tire, re-pressurize with air if needed. check other side too. Some will say to make sure the total rim is immersed in fluid to prevent rust, but the manuals I have seen say to fill to the valve stem and no more. You still need plenty of air in the tire for a "cushion".

They should be they same weight.

If they're filled with the same stuff, which we assume, then they should be filled to the same level.

Most of the time you want them filled to cover the 'steel' wheel to slow corrosion.
