I believe they are 8ply. Not totally positive but I think the owners manual says something like 25 or 30psi. If it is because they are just "stiff R4 tires" then my thing is, why would they(Titan I think) even make a tractor tire that? Can only use about 75% of the tread, if that. Id say on pavement that its less than that as the ground compresses a bit. Even with my 5ft brush mower hanging off the back and no loader on, the things are hard as a rock and perform the same way.

Thks for the input, I will check out the OEM pressure specs.

With loaded tires the air volume is small compared to unloaded. This will make the tires feel hard because even small compression makes the internal pressure (in that small air volume) spike much higher than unloaded (because the liquid is incompressible). But also, even a small loss of that air will decrease the internal pressure a lot (because there is so little air in there). Considering how inconvenient it would be to roll one of those beads off the rim, I do check my loaded tire pressure, at least in the spring (after the tractor has sat unused) and fall (when temperatures (and pressures) drop).

Wonder if you followed the Manufacturer's specs on air pressure ?
So far we have anywhere from 12 to 20 psi.
I will have to check my book on the new tractor once it gets here to be sure of what the Mahindra calls out.
Waiting for the thumb, tire filling and shipment.
