After having a read of the tyre pressure thread that Mith started I started thinking about the pressures in my tyres.
I have an agric IH484 that I use with an 8' rear finishing mower. I put turf tyres on it 12 months ago but haven't really been that impressed as it seemed not to have reduced the grass compression by much. At this point it was running about 19psi.
Today I went out and dropped the pressure to 15psi and what a difference /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. The ride is now much softer and I can already see that the grass is less compressed. After i put it back in the shed (which has some sand on the floor) I can see that I'm still not utilising the entire width of the tyre, so I can see a further 2-3psi coming out very soon unless the tyres start looking dodgy.
