2003 NH TC25D
I am planning on removing the right rear wheel and tire of my 2003 NH TC25D to install a remote valve.
The tire is unfilled, and I will remove the two wheel weights before removing the wheel. I am trying to guess the weight so that I know whether this a job that two reasonably fit men can handle, or whether I need to buy/borrow/rent a lift of some sort to make the job safe. The sidewall of the tire is marked 15x19.5 NHS. I can't find a weight for such a wheel and tire combination anywhere online.

Of course, the tractor will be carefully supported on at least two 3-ton axle stands before I fiddle with the wheel.

Thanks for your help!

200 for tire, 100 for rim. 300 total, and thats prolly a tad high. 1 person should be able to do it just fine. I can do loaded tires. Just dont let them lay down. Jack the rear up to the perfect height, and one person can walk the tire on and off of the studs. Then lean it up against something.

I can't find the chart I used a couple years ago when I filled my big turf tires....
But here is a chart that may help.... I found several charts with a search of "tractor tire liquid capacity"

Or just do the math for your wheel diameter, tire diameter, tire cross section......

Good luck

Forgot to add...... The chart I used when I did my tires was set up for a 75% total capacity fill.
