Does anyone know what the pressure is supposed to be? My front tires are a little too loose when the loader is full.

Not sure I understand "loose ", but I'm surprised the tire pressure isn't in your owner's manual. Have you looked on the sidewall? Perhaps on the inside sidewall? It should be a number expressed in KPa (kilo-pascals). If yours are R4 tires, I'd expect to see it marked for somewhere around 180 to 200 KPa. If so, that puts it into the 28 psi range.zogman said:

Zogman,
Greg is correct on the tire pressures. I think that is what the manual suggests.
In my case I've found that running 35 psi works good in the fronts, especially when using the loader. My bucket is a full ½ yard and the tires get pretty "flat" under a full load of dirt. I also have the fronts filled to top of rim.
Same with the rears, filled to top of rim, but I have 25 psi in those. I noticed with the backhoe on they also flattened a little too much. I do not want to expose any (too much) sidewall in fear of having them punctured by rocks or tree limbs. My land is a wilderness with many obstacles and I'm frequently on loose soil so I worry less about tread wear. Those specs may not be out of the manual, but they work for me carrying those loads and in my soil conditions.
