This is probably a dumb question but does anyone fill their
front tires with fluid?
Advantages, if any?
Thanks

I wouldn't fill front tires if you have a 4wd loader. That air suspension design is used to reduce the impact load from running overs rocks, etc..on your front 4wd steering joints when carring a load in the loader. Remember, the loader weight is a serious cantilever load on the front assy.
I have my front AGs filled with water on the 7520 with FEL. I use 75 to 90% fill for weight/down pressure and load carrying stability. I note 90% shows less compliance and am careful on major bumps. I have had a leake and run one tire quite low under load and turning. I expected a debead but it stayed seated fine. Makes me think that at full pressure there will never be a problem. Were your tires low when they debeaded.:curious2:OK Guys,
Thanks for the info. I have decided to fill the front tires
with washer fluid/RV antifreeze up to the 75% level.
I have had two air-outs on the front tires since March while turning with a
medium size load in the FEL. I may put tubes in - haven't decided yet. Hopefully this will alleviate this issue.
