To fill or not to fill

Not really sure how I can lower the pressure. If I open up the valve stem, beat juice comes out. Ha
I'm sure it'll destroy a normal gauge.
Thx

I run 12 - 14 psi in my R1 Ag tires. Put valve stem at very top (12:00 position) push in on valve core and some fluid will come out then will start with straight air unless tire is over-filled.

I'm not sure what mine are set up at. The tractor is on a job right now when I get home I will check and let you know if you still want to know by then.

I'll check it again when I get back up to the farm. I had the valve stem right at 12:00, and juice was coming out. I wanted to make sure he was getting in all the juice that was possible. They are over filled. I'm going to leave them at 30, might make for a rougher ride, but it'd be a mess to bleed some out.

Try parking on a side hill, check high side tire first with valve at 12 o'clock. Turn tractor around to face the opposite direction, and check the other tire.

There will always be a bit of juice in the valve stem. If not overfilled, just a quick shot of air to clear the valve before checking pressure, makes for less mess.

Great idea. I should have known.. Park it on a hill.
Will do. I think I'll lower the pressure a bit.
Thanks!

I am in Center where did you you get them filled?
The company that filled them was from Palmyra Mo. Here's what I paid.
"Cost was $232. Included a $75 serv chg, and a $9 fuel chg. "

I'll try to dig up my receipt and get the name and # of the company that filled them.

Brahler's in Palmyra.
(573) 769-1041.
I have no affiliation with them at all.
I just thought they did a good job.
