Setting up tractors for snow-Wise men come forth!

You only want the tires full to about 1" down from the top of the rim.

2 reasons:

1.) They need some air for cushion
2.) If they are full above the valve stem, you can't check pressure without a gauge made for fluid. You will ruin a standard gauge.

Probably should drain some out. 6 gal is more than enough on a 10.50 tire.

$93 for antifreeze??
Why not use windshield washer fluid, good to -20*
I just put 5 gal in each of my 8.50's
Total was $13.86 +tx.

10-4, I purchased everything pictured.
J-Mech, thank you. I put 10 lbs. of air in the tires before I mounted them on the tractor. I'll jack up the tractor and place the valve stem at 12 o'clock and see what happens. I appreciate you guys steering me straight.

I would turn the tire until the valve is at 12 o'clock and remove the guts and let it drain until it's stops, this way you don't have to worry about fluid ruining your air tool and it will give the tractor a softer ride. I have 6 gallons in my 10.50's and it's plenty.

Thanks Tim, will do.

The RV anti or WW sol will not corrode an air gauge like chloride will.
just flush it a bit with water and all is well.
You might find #10 is a little high, I run less, just enough to get a little sidewall deflection and a smooth ride.

Thanks again Ol'George!
