Check your pressure

[Killer RC]

The big temperature drop this week really made my tires go flat. So keep an eye on your psi.

The pressure varies depending on the tractor and the tires, but mine are 20psi in the rear, and 29psi in the fronts.

That's so true I went to unload my chipper off the truck last week and didn't notice they were both flat on the front. Put 20lbs and have been checking them daily so far so good. Thought it was just me.

Gotta love foam filled tires!

Great reminder!

I went a bit further for my tractor. I took a permanent marker and put the recommended PSI on each rim right by the valve stem.

Other than that, I used the marker and put the MM size by each of the metric bolts that tighten or adjust various on the tractor. Makes maintenance check a lot easier that way.

Thanks for the reminder.

FYI, the bigger your tires are, the flatter the tires can get in cold weather. When it's cold the air molecules move slower and they take up less space than they do when the air is warm. If the pressure gets low enough then you can develop an air leak around the rim, then the problem is even worse. And if you have your tires filled with Rim Guard, like me, then it can get expensive if enough of it leaks out. So check on your tractor every day or two.
