Comment below what PSI you run in your tractor and planter tires.

18.4r38 at 14psi, drill has IF 380 tires at 38psi

Iam buy no means a big guy. I have one 50 HP 4WD tractor. I try to get the most traction out of my tires for pulling a plow or disc. Right now I have 13 PSI in my tires on the back I would like to run lower but I'm worried about coming off the bead and losing all of my rim guard

As low as possible I have a 6m combination on the back of my new Holland T7.270 and the lowest I can run with my weight is 15 psi. I am from the UK and I went to a tyre open day a few years ago with my dad. And we learnt a lot on all aspects of tyres. That has made a difference to what tyres we have purchased on tractors and our sprayer since then. Now try and get VF tyres as they can run on lower pressures.

Sounds like you're moving in the right direction with your tire choices. We like to see guys running at 15 psi or lower in the field.

@@NTSTireSupply on another tractor I was rolling with a T7.260 I dropped the pressure down to 5psi on the front. Which was too low as I went round the corner after about 2 hours work and it came off the rim.
