I have noticed on some recent posts where tire pressures are being lowered for grass cutting on soft ground.
I don't cut grass with the tractor (at present), but do use it for fertiliser spreading. With my sticky ground you do not go onto it at all when wet or damp. (I do have turfs on) /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I understand that a lower pressure will spread the tire sidewall and therefore have a larger footprint and lower ground pressure.
Does it really make a useful difference. If so, what is the lowest pressure that tires could be operated safely without unseating from rim, or causing sidewall damage.
