For the 2305, there are references to typical/recommended tire pressure in the owners manual. The owners manual only gives 'maximum' pressure (22psi for fronts). Sidewalls say 35psi (memory serving). In one manual I read (I believe 200CX manual), it indicates to increase front pressure 4 psi above recommended pressure for the tractor.

So should mowing pressure be below 22psi (maximum), and if how low do people go? The fronts always seem to look low no matter what the pressure. When operating the loader do people go to 26 psi ignoring the manual "maximum" comment? Other than soil compaction I would assume anything up to 35 psi is fair game.

Seems odd that the literature uses the "maximum" terminology instead of "recommended".

What I usually do...

Loader work - 22psi all around
Mowing work - 12psi all around

Going to 12psi for mowing really helps with the "ride" on rough areas, and feel that you get less compaction or visible tire marks.

But, not having an air compressor, I have to rely on my portable air tank for filling the tires for loader work.
