Tires Tire pressure and front wheel drive lever for YM1601D

[frankmako]

For a YM1601D, What is the front and rear tire pressure for rice tires?? When the front wheel drive lever is toward the rear of the tractor is the
tractor in 2-wheel drive? When the lever is forward toward the front
of the tractor the tractor should be in four-wheel drive??? Yes I am going to get a manual for the tractor.

Thanks
Frank

It should have the tire pressure stamped on the tire in kilopascals, abbreviated kpa. Just follow the instructions at the top of the page.

Your optimal tire pressure will vary depending on soil conditions and if you have a loader or not. Tire pressure stamped on the side wall is usually max pressure for the tire. I have found that 13-17 psi works very well with my methanol/water filled tires working in my soil type. Also depends on how heavy you implement is and what you are doing with it. Traction requirements are different between a boxblade and a mower. My fronts are usually filled to 25 psi or so. When you have a full loader you want them pretty perky as it makes them easier to turn under load...
