Turf Tire Pressure

[ruffdog]

I ran 10lbs in the rear turfs of my TC33D for 20 years and never had a problem but I did run 18psi in the fronts. Those big turfs have lots of air volume and way more of internal surface area (square inches) than other tires. Try it.

Strange .... I have six tractors and none have the rear tire pressure higher than the front.

I agree. The big rear tires have more surface area and need less air. My garden tractors run 10-12 in the front and 7psi in the rear turfs.

Funny, I was just looking up the pressure recommendation for the turfs on my L3240 (switching for fall lawn maintenance) and the front is listed at 20 and the rear at 24 which surprised me
