My Yanmar has 6x14 tires and 9.5x24 s how much air pressure do you put in yours?
The tires arent marked and its been a long time since I put air in them.

Depends on size of tractor, my 5K # tractor has 18# in rears, fronts 45# because of the FEL. When I remove the FEL, fronts are aired down to 20# for other uses.

6x14 BKT Farm Tractor Tire (4 Ply) is rated for 32psi

9.5x24 BKT Farm Tractor Tire (6 Ply) is rated for 32psi, (8 ply) is rated for 42psi

Doesn't matter what a tire is "rated" for. Put enough air in them to have just a little bulge in the sidewalls - gives better traction and much better ride. You can always add air if you'll be hauling heavy weight.

The rear tires in my Kubota M7060 I keep around 13 psi. The fronts at about 18 psi. If I'll be handling heavy pallets with the front end loader I'll air up the fronts to 30 psi, then air them right back down after the job is done. Don't really remember what the John Deere 2020 tires are inflated to but I use the same criteria - keep a little bit of bulge in the sidewalls. Overinflated tires don't do you, the machine, or the ground you are driving on any favors.

Org. Bridgestone 9.5/9-24. I had to reline them Yrs. ago. Only tubes I was around 18psi. And With the inserted tire Reline I believe it's 15psi. and that's when you see the tire getting inflated. Then I level them off 16psi I believe. Not the first complaint! And the lugs are still huge.

The replies saying the rear tires should have a bulge in them are right. This picture is an example,
