Tractor Tire Maintenance Tips

A utility tractor needs to have its tires regularly maintained and inflated for proper functioning. Because of the heavyweight of your machine along with any towed equipment or payloads it may carry, it’s essential to ensure that the tires are in good condition and reliable. We’ve created this brief guide to help you care for your tractor’s tires and keep them in good shape.

Check the Tire Pressure

Replacing a large tractor tire is an expense for sure, so keeping them maintained will spare you from having to replace them too often. Check the pressure of each tire and make sure it corresponds to the recommendations set by the manufacturer, which are generally printed on the tire wall or in the owner’s manual. You may want to adjust the tire pressure slightly for different tasks to ensure peak performance.

Adjust the Tires

When driving on a road, it’s good to have a little more tire pressure to help the tires hold firm on the pavement. While you’re tilling, reducing the pressure a little bit below recommendations can be helpful. Loading with your tractor is improved by having more pressure in the front tires, but when hauling a heavy load, you’ll need more pressure at the rear tires instead. If you’re not sure whether these pressure settings will work with your particular model, you can always chat
with the staff here at our service department. Our expert mechanics can answer your questions about correct tire pressure.

With some patience and attention, you can keep your tractor in great condition so that it continues to serve you well for years to come. A properly maintained tractor is both efficient and money-saving, as it won’t suffer a serious breakdown that requires expensive repairs.
