Tires Tire Pressure

[cperky]

Had a tire pressure issue today on my trailer but it got me to thinking about the tire pressure on my tractor. My question is what should the pressure be if the tire is loaded with fluid? How do you check the pressure, make sure the stem is up?

Thanks,
Chris

The pressure should be the same no matter whether the tire is filled or not.

Measure the pressure with the valve stem up unless you have one of the gauges designed for liquid filled tires. The pressure should be the same no matter where the valve stem is, but if there's the calcium chloride or glycol anti-freeze in the liquid, it could damage an ordinary gauge.
