I have a BX2380, dealer put beet juice in the tires.
I have R4 tires, 18” and 26”.
Im not in front of tractor so I don’t know recommended pressure is.
But with the beet juice, what pressure difference should I hold to?
Or do I put the recomended anyway?

Nothing changes with pressure - the "liquids" cannot be compressed, only the air LEFT inside the tire can be.

Thus run the same as you would before .......

the only problem with loaded tires - the air you had before was the only "shocks" you had when hitting a bump - now the air is only 25% of the area inside (typical 75% loaded) - thus you will feel those bumps a little more now!

I run something like 20 psi ( use loader a good bit )on the fronts and 15 ish on the rears......

My rears are loaded with water and antifreeze. I run about 12 psi in the rears. Rarely use or even have the FEL on the tractor so run the recommended in the fronts.

Just be sure to check your loaded tire air pressures with the valve “stem” in the uppermost (12 o’clock) position so you’re checking actual air...instead of liquid.
