I NEVER fiddle with tractor tires loaded or not and I take issue with the poster who posted they should be (loaded). Filling tires is entirely dependent on the application. None of mine are. In fact I bought a used unit and first thing I did was have the ag tire truck come by and evacuate all the fill and replace the tubes.

Along those lines I ALWAYS have a profession tire service handle my tire issues. They have the right equipment to mount and dismount and most times, they don't remove the wheels and tires but to them on the tractors. Tractor tires unless very small are a bear to work on. I'd rather pay to have them repaiaired.

I'm sure you have farmers around you. Stop in and ask them, they will tell you who is good and who isn't and who is overpriced and who isn't. I don't know of any farmers who do their own tires. One, they are way too big to fool with and 2, farmers don't have the time.

In case you ever try to dismount one, you'll need in the least an impact gun powered bead breaker. Most tire trucks use a hydraulic powered one and some way to muscle the tire around (very heavy). Just wait until you have to buy new ones. I just paid just under 5 for 4 bias R1's. Radials are more and I don't mean 5 bucks either, I mean $5,000.00 not including mounting or tubes. All in I was just north of 5.

In my area there are a few small owner used tire shops who are much more willing to repair tractor tires than the car tire shops that sell new tires. Any place that repairs dump truck tires will do it also including most truck stops.

After too many flats spoiling weekend plans I found a solution that has been working for me over 10 years.

I had the rear tires foamed filled which makes them flat proof and use Slime for the fronts which had very slow leaks around the rim.

Others have used tubes which works well when quality tubes are used.
