Synthetic Air

I'm sorry Bob, I have to insist that H2Air is absolutely the best /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. When that organic air starts rotting, man what a stench! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif The byproducts released can actually dissolve silicon! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You guys are completely crazy! If I could afford synthetic air I wouldn't put it in no stinking tractor tire(they do smell pretty bad too). As bad as our natural air is here I would suck it down myself. And I don't care what you say about women and childern first. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If I switch to synthetic air, will I need to buy a special gauge to check the pressure? I heard you can only get the synthetic in metric.

Just got back from a two day camping trip and it was entertaining to say the least. Synthetic Air is ahead with the rv'ers, but the tractor bunch is still lagging behind. There were a group of S.I.N. (synthetic is nice) members trying to convert the non-sinners. Converts to sin seem to be somewhat fanatical in their approach and seemed to party loud and hard.
Then there were the greenies with their natural air. They also had fruit flavored air. They seemed to attract the bees and flies more than the other campers. A big honkin, motor home showed up at the camp ground. He sneered at the common folk using PA (plain air) as he used imported air, which comes from the first exhaled breath of newborn Siberian Yaks. The most fun to watch was the ole boy that put helium in his tires. The trailer was floating about a foot off the ground but was soon back on terra firma. The kids in the camp ground would sneak up to the trailer and release the helium and breath it in so they could talk like chipmunks. Leaving the camp ground I heard some blue air as a sinner lost the hose on his black water tank about half way through the process. I really don't think I would want to put blue air in my tractor tires, If you ever had a flat you would get a cussing at the same time. Just some musings of an old geezer who might give sin a try.

As far as I'm concerned, the only real issue is metric air vs. standard air. Metric air is a MUST for imported tractors.

Most savvy vintage tractor restorers will hunt far and wide for old air, pumped from old tires to keep their tractors as accurate as possible.

Now for the use of synthetic air, I only use it with radial tires. No benefit with bias ply's.

I always used nitrogen in the tires on my corvette. The pressure won't change with the hot and cold and it won't leak out through the pores in the tires like air.

ROFLMAO /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Are ya'lls tractors broke? You've got way to much time on your hands.Just keep the OE air in the tires and by all means go out and use it.


Don't worry, nothings going to be alrite

I've heard warnings not to use either synthetic or natural air that was bottled in the Southern Hemisphere. Never got an explanation as to why but I am careful to avoid it.

It causes your tractor tires to spin in the opposite direction.
