New (to me) 2019 XJ2025H

[DoubleJ1929]

Lurked for a bit but believe this is first post on TBN. Just picked up a 2019 XJ2025H with FEL and BH with 135 hrs. No picture, sorry..
Couple of newbie questions.... I do have some uneven ground it will play on so want to add fluid to tires and potentially spacers. Was surprised to see valve stems on inside of rear tires. You DIY's able to maneuver lines to get fluid in while tire still on tractor or did you have to remove? And spacers... Look through forum it looks like Bro-Tech was the favorite. Is this still the case? Any challenges or concerns to add? 2"? 3"?

Thanks all!!

If your planning on adding spacers, and Bro-Tech are very good spacers, you will need to remove the tires. Fill the tires then.

Thanks for quick reply Citydude!! Tire off for adding spacers for sure. But was hoping to fill while on tractor for handling purposes and it looks like it is easier when you are using the tractor weight to help? That's my so called knowledge base after a couple youtube video's. lol
Interested on thoughts of front spacers as well. Will the 1.5" offered make a appreciable difference?

OK... Typical of a newbie I guess I jumped the gun.. I am 3rd owner and was told tires were not filled. Just checked and they actually are (first owner must of had them done) with a dark fluid. Assuming Beet juice.
So with that I think I will order 3" spacers for the rear. Still question if the 1.5" in front is a good idea or not?

Some do add spacers to the front however lots more do not. With the front axle able to pivot on a center pin the front spacers will do little good.

I had 6" spacers on the rear of an L3400 that i used for contract mowing with filled rear tires. It stuck on the side of hills like a tick. Lol

Thanks again for the thoughts and reply Citydude. 3" spacers ordered and leaving the front end alone.
